    seem to find the real name or PT# for the kit , to stop the oil over flow from running down into my air breather & blowing back all over the right side of my bike ,It's not bad or heavy but the wind make it look bad

    Before you dump money on new parts....

    The top reason for that problem is oil pump misalignment...

    Drop the pipes, pop the cam cover off and remove the outside chain
    assembly, loosen the 4 oil pump bolts.

    Now with plugs out, put bike in 5th and turn the rear wheel over 2 or 3 times,
    this will center the oil pump into it's natural position on the pinion shaft, usually
    this stops the problem. Tighten down the oil pump bolts, reinstall cover and exhaust.

    Also , you can run a breather hose off the head bolts down along side the engine to a small CCI filter or open, this will keep the oil that does mist out from getting into the air filter, your intake and eventually into the engine...

    Align the oil pump first...

    no problem, It won't hurt to check.

    I'd also look to re-route the breathers, some black hose running off the breathers works fine, I ran mine with a T up under the tank, down the backbone (be sure it won't get pinched, down past battery behind the trans to a CCI mini filter.

    misting is normal to some extent,
    if oil pump is misaligned it might do it more than normal
    and on high speed runs you get oil down the side of the bike in some cases.

    Well the realignment is just a gasket, locktite and some time....

    Some use the Evo tappet block adjustment screws from HD, but
    FWIH the best method is to remove the screws from the oil pump and
    turn the rear wheel over (bike in gear) and allow the pump to center on the
    pivot shaft, it finds a natural position and tends not to do what you are talking
    about.

    Also running an external breather line will keep it from dripping into the filter and the intake. I prefer clean air in my intake not oily misty epa air...
