    I use mine to lube my chain on the r. On the scg it just spits out on the swing arm nobody sees it. I'm thinken its about as environmentally safe as any factory chain driven bike that oils the chain centrifugally from the front sprocket shaft. Buells aren't supposed to b environmentally friendly. Tell those hippy tree huggers to go ride a bicycle!:D

    always wondered why a "can" would come into play if your valve seals, guides, and rings are in good shape?

    It can dribble oil during high-rev situations, and most tracks won't let you onto the track without a proper catch can.

    Â*Purpose of catch can?

    I thought this was common knowledge

    MORE HORSEPOWER with the possibility of speeds above 200 mph

    ^^Oh, I hear ya--on my Uly, I run the line straight out to the rear passenger peg with no filter or can. On my XB12S, I ran a catch can and filter, but mostly 'cause l didn't know how much would come out. I get -zero- dribble on my Uly...
