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. |

lol. true, but I didn't know how well the plastic would hold up to the heat of the oil coming out though. |

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. |

I like ho'made catch cans! Anything that works and is cheap is cool... you don't have to spend lots of cash for a catch can. |
