Just received my American Sport Bike catch can and now I'm looking for advice with regards to "cleanly" and "professionally" spanning the gap between the banjo bolts. Something like the attached photo--basically a very long metal tee fitting but with a drain tube running down one side or the other that I can attach my braided hose to and then to the catch can. See any downside to using this or any other trick looking solutions out there?

Thats pretty much the way to do it. Your package says "Big Twin" on it - so you will have to bend the pipe slightly to get it to fit (the sportster dimension between banjo bolts is slightly shorter than the Big Twin distance). Thats what I did with mine. Kilroy |

That's funny, I just bought one of those kits from Drag Specialties. I may be blind to it, but, I don't know if I've seen to many tubers out there with this kit. Does anyone have pics of this installed? I'll post some when I get mine on. BTW, they do make one of those kits for the sportster 1200 and should fit without bending. If you do bend this one, you could kink the line. |

I used this kit, but cut the center part of the pipe off and ran two hoses to my Jazz catch can. |

I have that exact one on my Cyclone. I have it mounted so the nipple is toward the front hidden behind the air cleaner and then use a pre-curved 3/8 fuel hose (the dark picture), to a 3/8 nipple running more 3/8 fuel line above the rear cylinder along the frame to a Pingle catch zip tied to the frame, with cut rubber hose between the can and the frame so it doesn't rattle.

Crap pic but it is dark in there. Showing pre curved 3/8 fuel line coming off the nipple. |

Pingle can is a bit too large but since the body work is large on the 99-02 M2's, no biggy. I would go with a smaller can for an S1 |
