You know that State Farm acquired a majority position in Hagerty about 5 years ago.  That's where the money to buy the Concours came from.  That would seem to put pressure on rates.

Here's a long shot for Joe or the Doctor; Is there a bolt on the left side of the engine that threads all the way into the crankcase?  If so, a bolt that's too long might be interfering.

Soak the rubber in very hot water, then apply some dish soap to the inside of the rubber. Should help it slide. Use a hair drier if needed to re apply heat.

Maybe try to warm it up. I'd also probably do the larger tube first, if it was me. But I'm not speaking from experience since my breather tube is different.
