As for the vent, just leave it open. DO NOT PLUG IT, HAS TO BREATH! You could put a small filter on it to keep critters out of your crankcase when the bike sits.
On the POD air filters, watch for the EMGO I believe it is, they have a lip on them that will partially block the openings in the inlet bell of the carb.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

When I bought mine the PO had used an automotive valve cover breather on the crank case. They used a rubber adapter so it would fit. I can get a pick of the adapter later for you if you would like.Nate
