Before, all I had were the lines running to the filter, left of the rear shock, where spooge was free to flow. I never liked that setup, but I'm a cheap a$$ and didn't wanna fork over the dough to order a setup online and wait a week to get it. SOOO... I came up with this today:

A for effort, but maybe you should go with a NOS energy drink bottle instead.

Yeah it's loose, I just haven't got around to tightening it up. Credit goes to Grancuda on the wrap job, I bought the pipe from him wrapped, I just painted the wrap with high temp paint. It's stayed great but I did have to touch it up a bit after 1500 miles.

it looks really good!! a couple questions, does the oil have to travel up to a point which is higher than the starting point? if so wont the oil just drain back toward the engine? and do you have a drain on the bottom of the bottle or are you just going to take it off from time to time?

The line ATM runs level with breather bolt at it's highest point, but I'll adjust it right now to fix that 'cuz I didn't notice it. It'll easily slide down another inch or so. I plan on jus removing the bottle and dumping it from time to time. I thought about putting a drain plug at bottom, but I didn't see a point since I would still take the can off to dump it.

I suppose that if I wanted to be really cool I could make more permanant fittings and paint the bottle to match the yellow LOL.
