You want the hoses without the diverter section, unless you plan on a BOV in the future.

Thanks so much I can't believe I didn't realize what bov connection stood for! Lol
Do you run a bov system in your 850R?

I don't but I've thought about it. It's not really a necessary part if you're mostly stock.

Forge makes a replacement CBV that uses a piston rather than the spring that the stock part uses. These are supposed to be really nice. I'd consider one of these before a BOV.
