    breather mesh replacement?

    Where does one get the breather cover mesh? I don't know what it's made of (foam or metal mesh?) since my bike didn't have any in the breather cover. Just pulled it off and saw an empty space. I assume it should be metal, to prevent from melting or burning?

    Hi Mr. Rein,

    It's metal. It looks like heavy-duty chicken wire. Actually, the squares are a little smaller, like we used to use to build our rabbit hutches when I was a kid. It's a thin strip of wire mesh that's rolled flat and put there in the spaces in the breather cover. It's to collect and condense the oil vapors so that they fall back into the motor.

    Thank you for your indulgence,

        Wow, Lynn. You found part numbers! I didn't think they had part numbers. Good going.

          I would think they are the same as well, if not, the 750's would be a tiny bit larger, but still compress to fit in the space.
