I'm looking for the breathers with the reservoir so that the oil doesn't get all over the bike. Getting tired of having to wipe the oil off my bike every time I go out for a ride. Any ideas where I can pick up a decent set? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks | ||

Are you talking about a catch can? If so there are plenty of different things people have done here. Check the picture in my profile. I used the kit American Sport Bike sells to do the catch can. The kit had banjo fittings other fittings and hoses. I used this for a catch can: http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.as p?RecID=4703 | ||

Yea the catch can. Thats what I meant. Looks like I will be ordering one tonight. Thanks | ||

Thomas, did you put a piece of rubber or something between the catch can and the frame? | ||
| Brinnutz |
Eric, I cut a small piece of rubber and did that. | ||
| Tdman77 |
Like Nutz said I used a small piece of rubber between the frame and catch can. I even use large black zip ties so I wouldn't scratch the frame. | ||
| Brinnutz |
I used stainless hose clamps and put rubber between those as well. | ||

Is11b1p - You will need to get 3/8 fittings from your local tool store. It comes with 1/4 fittings. Also make sure to empty the catch can after or b4 every ride. It doesn't hold that much and I went for a few days without emptying it and had it blow all over my knee. | ||

Umm. Tdman, I never had mine have more than a little bit and I emptied every fill up, though my breathers hose had to run uphill about an inch, so that might have helped...who knows. (Message edited by brinnutz on April 27, 2009) | ||

Wilson - I went like 3 almost 4 tanks without emptying it. It sprayed me when I got on it hard (one wheel thru 3rd gear). Just wanted to give a heads up so no one else gets spooge on them or their bike since I have been telling everyone to get one. Hell I should call Pegasus and ask them for commission for all the business I have sent their way.  | ||

LOL that catch can has been recommended for years..  One wheel in third? Shit, I could barely clutch mine up in 2nd WOT! And that's why I'm rebuilding the entire top end. | ||
| Lowroad |
whats wrong with just routing it into the intake? | ||
| Tdman77 |
Once you see how much water and spooge the can catches you won't want to route it back into your motor. Plus it's suppose to give you a tiny bit more power. After watching a vid on youtube of a buell puking I did mine. Ever noticed how oily your stock air box gets? This stops that. | ||

BUELLers: Did the "ECONO" CATCH CONTAINER thing ... BLACK 20W50 plastic oil container behind the license plate on my 1997 S3T ... MAY THE LONG LASTING BUELL BE WITH YOU !!! | ||

I also have the American Sport Bike catch can and it does a great job. I don't get any oil in the can though, it collects some light green spooge and I empty it around every 200 or so miles. Is that normal? What does your "spooge" look like? | ||
| Pkforbes87 |
looks like cum. no offense. that's the best way to describe it. I just ordered the pegasus can as well. Too bad it looks like there's no place to mount the polished CO2 bottle I wanted to use. BTW some engines puke different amounts than others. I used a prescription pill bottle for a while, about the same size as the average catch can, and would go nearly 1000 miles before it needed to be emptied. Kinda weird with the pill bottle being clear I could see exactly what was puking out. High humidity days are really disgusting! | ||

I used the JAZ Mini Breather that I bought from Behrent's Performance. I paid around $32 for the Breather, and then ran hoses from the original bolts. I wouldn't pay $56 that they are asking now. http://www.behrents.com/ Behrent PN: JAZ605-375-01 Price: $55.94 I used their mounting strap and attached it to the battery hold down strap on my S3T. I empty it every 1K miles +/-. | ||

I ended up purchasing the Jaz Mini Breather from Behrent's Performance. I know it was a little to expensive but I liked it better then the Billet Catch Can. To all: Thanks for the info | ||
| Lowroad |
yeah, it's a cool little unit. | ||
| Kalali |
"looks like cum..." Fair enough... I wonder why mine is a geenish color...Must be eating too much lettuce..!! | ||
| Oldog |
If your cum looks like spooge you need to see the doctor  | ||

Just got the Jaz Mini Breather in the mail today. Just got done installing it. Tucked it in under the seat fairing on the left side of the the bike. Totally hidden. | ||
| Lowroad |
where exactly did you hide it now? | ||
| Tdman77 |
Low - He rides an M2 they have a tubular tail with body work to cover the tubes. I think there is a good pic in the KV in one of the older catch can threads. | ||
| Lowroad |
yeah, I just figured that out. I figured either S1 or M2. |
