    Emailed him. I like this setup, looks very clean

    The reason I want to install breather reroute is because of removing the PVC valves hoses from the airbox baseplate is PITA, I need to cut those hoses and install new each time I need to dive under the baseplate, I hate it.

    They do not do those catch cans anymore because of it is too expensive now for some reason.

    If you really need a catch can, just paint a 5hr energy bottle black and put a hole just large enough for your tubing to fit REALLY snug through the top.
    Put a couple holes in the can, to allow it to breath and to drain it, and call it a day.
    That's my set up.
    But I understand it might not be expensive enough or complicated enough for some of you guys.
    In that case get with a machine shop and see what they can CNC for ya out of a solid piece of titanium

    I don't have pics but I can tell you with absolute certainty that adding a catch can and breather filter is unnecessary and counterproductive.

    Remove the air box base plate connect the hoses from the breather valves to a T or Y fitting, attach some ⅜ fuel line to that same fitting, and then run the hose down behind the left rider footpeg and leave it open to freely vent to the ground.

    Did this with a cheap auto parts store stainless breather filter on the end. Easy peasy
