I was in the process of changing A/C gaskets so thought I'd show my set-up as a reply to your post: black and concealed, but higher up for easier access. Not the purdiest, but cheap and effective, and the motor/environment stay clean.

Braided fuel hose, dual-inlet breather filter with heat-resistant sock, twist-off cans:


Pretty much out of sight unless you bend down low to look for it:


Good luck with your project!

A lot of good info/ideas on here. The one that cggorman posted would definitely fit, but I'm wondering how frequently I'll have to empty it. When I get home I'm going to measeure the horn cover and go from there, I figured if I need to, I can put a 90 on the filter so that will buy me some room. As far as the angle goes, I can build my own mount, so it doesn't HAVE to be the same exact position as where the horn would be, but how much of an angle does it really need to be on? I would think as long as it's running down hill it would drain....am I misinformed here? Thanks again guys.

There is about a 10 page thread here that covers many versions of "breather bypass"

I know, thank you. I've read the pages everyone has posted links to, however many of them are 4-6 years old. The point was to see if anyone's Coke up with any new ideas since then (since I haven't seen anyone mount it where I'm considering), on top of that, I wanted to see some set ups on some newer bikes too. Either way, thank you to everyone who has advised/shared ideas. When I have time to do this, I'll post it as a how to for others.

I know I can make one out of a bottle or something, but I don't want to.

Metal ones no less. Even harder! I haven't seen them since the 70's
