    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

'81 GS1100E Valve cover oil separator DIY.

I switched out the oil gears for some High Flow GS750 gears which caused my bike to spew some oil out at high revs through the valve cover breather hole. I have pods installed.
I bought an all aluminum kitchen range filter and DIY'ed one. It works :)

If it still leaks after this mod I bet you have piston blow by which creates a lot of pressure.

Visit my album for more pictures since I can only upload on pic at a time when posting. Maybe it's possible but I don't know how.

Hope that mesh is thick enough to not disintegrate with age. The Suzuki mesh looks thicker than the stuff you choose.
 
I had the same concerns. They don't make the oil separator from the 81 GS1100E. They do for 82 but it's not the same cover.
I'll keep my eye out for a thicker mesh and redo it. I needed a quick fix to stop the oil from leaking on my boot and clutch foot leaver.
 
Wouldnt the coarsest steel wool do the trick?? I mean its gonna be oil soaked so rusting is not an issue.
