NOTE TO WES - "PROGRESS REPORT ON WILLIS BOLT SWAP" . . . . WHEN I FIRST SWAPPED THE OLD, MODDED ZENITH/BREATHER SET-UP FOR THE DELIGHTFULLY SIMPLE BCM FILTER AND WILLIS BOLTS THERE WAS A DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY ABOUT HOW IT ALL WOULD GO ABOUT DOING ITS JOB . . . . NOW, AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF USUAL HARD FLOGGING, THE REPORT IS IN . . . . HUNKY BLOODY DORY !!

Yes indeedly my fine, bearded, raccoon loving friend, all seems to be perfectly functional. There is no sign of any untoward movement, flexing or stress at the throttle body side of things, no loosening of bolts or even a need to re-tension the little fuckers after getting it up to temperature in the first couple of weeks, it's all just sitting there doing the job in its beautifully understated, minimalistic way. The totally exposed element still has me a little worried in the rain but no sign of breaking down or faltering under revs . . . . yet . . . . ha, ha, ha !!

As for Kim's gorgeous Willis bolts, these sexy little things are also apparently doing their bit with utterly efficient aplomb. As we knew and suspected, the fact that the scavenging/breather runner is no longer attached there is a slight degree of increase in oil usage now that all the fumes and vapours aren't being fed directly back into the original air mix/filterbox set-up but there is no weeping or leaking from the business of the Willis bolts, either through the element or at the head/bolt faces . . . . I have had the micro elements out once for a bath and cleanup and there was no undue buildup of oil in them at all, so, all things considered mate, I reckon the entire sheboinker at this stage rates a big fat thumb in the bum for fit, finish and effectiveness . . . . mind you, I'm not a mechanic's scrotum but I've seen enough over the last thirty odd years to have a decently educated guess.

So big fella, if you or anybody else out there are on the hunt for a replacement for your stock HD fuelie airfilter/breather shitfight, get onto Kim Boyle and hook yourself up with this tasty trio of terrifically tidy two wheeled tidbits . . . . Boyle Custom Moto, fuck yeah !!!
