After figuring out that there is no any catch cans designed specifically for Buell breather reroute mod for sale anymore I decided to design my own catch can based on previous generation catch can you might be able to buy some time ago.
After performing some research I designed catch can CAD model with some improvements over previous generation catch can.
Here is the list of improvements:
- Added baffle between inlet and vent hole so now moisture will not go into the vent hole and will not squirt through the vent line filter;
- Added o-ring seals for the screws posts so there is no need to use glue or anything else to seal the screw holes and you can easily disassemble the catch can and assemble it back;
- Added notch for easier extracting the long seal from the groove;
- Increased long seal o-ring section diameter in conjunction with using soft durometer silicone for this o-ring material for better sealing.
The design utilizes two custom CNC machined aluminum parts, the rest is existing parts from McMater Carr.
Here is some mockup
I emailed to kdfab.com with question about catch can they were selling some time ago and they said that they do not do them anymore because of the price raised crazy high. I'm not sure why the price raised higher, because of CNC work becomes cheaper with raising this industry.
Anyway, I just ordered the parts from China, will see how it will go.
If you have a wish to CNC the parts I can share the models and all information about the utilized components.
Here is my finished breather reroute kit
