Crank Case Breather

In a high hp build or a bike which has to see sustained high speed, ( one customer was sitting on 200kph on the way to work for an hour each morning and night) I usually add some height to the tube where the little filter sits on. I have on occasion added a couple of little "S" bends to the tube so the breathing vapours hit the edges of the tube and the oil runs back down. FWIW the bike mentioned above, was operated at those speeds daily in 40+ degC and after a time I suggested he change from 15/50 oil to 15/60 , which he did and the problem stopped.
 
Guess what we are doing today IMG_0946.JPG Afterwords a good wash and wax.
 
Yea got up around 2:00 AM. Pain Pills wore off. :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: Took a few pills drank a few beers. Got her done IMG_0950.JPG Ran just the ninety no filter for over 500 miles. No blow through at all. Now i have a filter and good to go. Even ran her a few times over 140 MPH. Very happy camper. Wife did the work on the filter. I got fat fingers. Man am happy. Foot pegs on filter installed. Not bad for a guy that can not walk on his own. MRI this week and then surgery. You should see me mount the bike i have to crawl up and mount the tank just to get on. Then if i have to place a leg down i look like one of Jerry's kids. Keeping it real ride on.
