Just ordered my catch can. My warranty runs out in June. Plan on installing this before then though, just prior to riding season. My idea is to tee two hoses coming off my breathers (with yellow fuel line), and then through a small hole drilled into the back of my Ventilator.
Any ideas on the best way to route and mount the hose and can? Pictures would be a big help. Feedback from anyone who has mounted theirs in front of the rear time and suffered no ill effects would be good to hear from also.

Sorry for the delay in my response. I didn't have a catch can I had the breather filter on the end of the hose. Never had any oil in the line or coming out of the filter at all.

After they installed that plate, new jugs and pistons it has never had any oil out of the breathers again and no oil put of the external breathers. At the rate it was dumping out, it would have probably filled a catch can in about 20 or 30 miles or so.

Definitely a defect and a bad situation. Glad they worked it out right for you. Not sure why it seems that it's sometimes hard to get dealers to recognize and then do warranty work. Perhaps the moco pushing back?

Once I came back about 20 minutes later with the oil still pop puking out, they took it right back in and got to work on it. I've heard about other dealers giving a super hard time about warranty work and anything related to warranty.
These guys will still honor the warranty even with aftermarket cams and tuners, if they did the work. So I keep going back to them.

Not sure I want to pay Feuling prices to do that, and still have to deal with either a catch can or a filter. Is there a vented dipstick that releases the pressure in the pan and motor without also spewing oil?
