Very nicely done. That one there is worth some style points. Pat your self on the back.
It'd be right smack dab in the middle of any carb tuning, but that's not an issue for you.

Thank you. I didn't really think it would work with a carb but for me it's good.

Looks good, I did one similar a couple weeks ago. It is offset 3/4" back and is low enough I can still adjust the PMS thumb screw.

Thanks for all the compliments. I was really expecting to hear that it wasn't going to work like that for one reason or another but hopefully I won't have any problems. Thanks again.

Re:Crankcase breather 11 Months ago  
Thought I'd give a little update on this. Only put about 100 miles on it so far but it seems to be good. No more oil blowing out the BAK and none coming out of the breather filter. It's hard enough for me to keep it clean without having oil blowing everywhere. The filter for the BAK was preoiled when I got it and had too much oil on it. That didn't help anything but now everything looks good. Just need to give my baby a good bath.

Looks good, however, with that u-bend, there is a small possibility over time that oil could collect there and cause a blockage, then who knows where the engine might look to to release the internal pressure. Just a heads up.

Thought about that when I put it on. Figured I ncould blow the hose out every so often just to make sure. Thanks Erb.
