Default Cut my ********* off today!

I thought the misleading title might get some extra views.
I cut those weird ******** looking breathers off my bike today. I went and bought 20 bucks worth of brass fittings and some hose and it all went well, but now I'm not sure where to run it to! I've looked at literally hundreds of pictures of external breathers and they only show the intake side and not actually where it goes. Do I send it to the brake side, the belt side or straight under the tyre? None of those options are particularly appealing to me, what have you guys done?
Thanks, Matt.

I will be doing this as well very soon. I am going to bring both hoses under the A/C. I bought the filter with two inlets. This way I am able to see and clean the filter when it gets oily. I don't like the idea down and under. Hard to get too and maintain. Didn't like the idea of open breathing and dripping under the bike or on the rear tire. But that's my thoughts.

Tie it to the frame. Point it out and way from the rear tire.. No filter..

I take it that the tesitcles blead a little..

Ok, thanks guys! And yes, I got sick of the oil tank and pipes getting sprayed every time I gave it a handful.
Thanks again, Matt.

I ran the hose to the front of the motor then under the bike a little to the right to a filter. Haven't got any drips yet from it but only been on for about 1000 miles. You can see the filter when it's parked but doesn't bother me.

Thanks Dalt10! That's just what I was looking for, some good pics. I think I'll end up running it the same way as you, just minus the filter. You don't have any issues with the hose being that close to the exhaust? That was another one of my concerns.
Cheers, Matt.

I tried a different approach. I went straight through between the cylinders, down and around the front of the primary and then along the left hand bottom frame rail. I think it looks pretty neat, but haven't made my decision 100% yet!

I went to the belt side, no filter. Tied it to the left side of the tranny mount and pointing down.

OP

Install some of this over the vent tubing..., it'll help against touching hot parts
