    Thats a sweet little item. I may be the biggest hack here. i piped mine out to the end of my yoshi exhaust can in 3/8 copper tubing, angled it into the exhaust stream , and thru venturi effect, a small vacuum (I measured around 1'' negative if i recall) is drawn on the crankcase.

        I'll probably take one if I can figure out the fitting... need to have a measure up. You can ship to Kent & I'll pick it up next time I'm over.

              I think I used two Power Brake Booster Check Valves on my Yamaha XS650 Special. Any auto parts store has them cheap, but they aren't as good looking as this.

                I'm 99% sure it will be from that tab or a bar spanning both tabs. With the battery in place I don't have a lot of other space for it.

                Have you thought about adding two windows? One to shine the torch through & the other to see the level? (That's what I have to do with the coolant tank on my KLR to see the level in it, shine a torch from the side to see the level at the front so I assume this might be similar).

                I have a feeling I'll need one in horizontal configuration with the bracket on the top & one inlet. Where does your second breather pipe come from? A fitting on the oil filler?

                  would a vertical one fit anywhere better? as i have no battery where the stock one fits now i cannot see how much space you have.

                    The postman left a package

                    Youppee!!! Your breather tank looks great Adrian!
                    I'll certainly need to pay attention while installing it in order not to scratch it, etc.

                    Thanks a lot! Much appreciated sir!

                          Hello Agemax, looks nice. May I suggest other outlets? Go cart racers, dragracers all use these and most are soda bottles and zip ties.
                          Your looks top notch!!

                              Man I missed this thread completely! If I didn't get one from Pegasus Racing a while back I'd be on it like a fly on... well... you know... nice work mate

                                I built mine out of aluminum water bottles. Pick them up at the dollar store and used bicycle bottle holder to mount them. Vent through an ebay k&n knock off.
                                Sorry no pictures avaliable where I'm at right now.
