I don't know how close your tube is to the bottom of the can, but you might keep an eye on oil accumulation. When/if it the tube end ever gets covered...might restrict venting (I guess it should push through with pressure).
May be no big deal... Of course you can adjust (shorten) the tube as needed.

Also cut the included foam in half and put a hole in the middle just for the hell of it...

Thanks for the pics, now I know whats in those little buggers. Should be interesting to see how well it looks after a few thousand miles.. Not sure the added tube will help. If oil covers it. on starting, the tube will clear in the bottom of the bowl depending on where the crank stopped from the last run..

Good point, but I was figuring on the positive pressure taking care of it. Also, you can't see it in the photo, but I cut the end of the tube at an angle so it'll never be flush against the bottom, and it also only goes about 3/4 of the way to the bottom of the can. Should be ok.
Just to note, after my 30 min ride to work (it's only 9 min, but I take the *very* long way to make sure it gets the oil hot enough)I once again had a little stuff along the vent holes. I cursed as I "felt it up" when I "got off" the bike before I realized it was only water, from the bit of vapor boiling out of my oil. So no worries there.
Dunno if you guys do this but when my friends and I added catchcans on our import cars, yes I used to be a ricer, we would always add a peacock valve off the can and use a oil approved hose to under the car. We mainly did this so we could drain it into a container as opposed to running it into the environment. Mainly so we could measure the amount and quality of oil being purged from the system. This post has inspired me to go to the hardware store next week and see about fabrication of one for my bike.
Damn you guys for peaking my interest in doing stuff to my bike HAHA jkjk
You're only a Ricer if your car looks fast but isn't. Plenty of WICKED fast, legit 4 cylinders.
HAHA Well thank you for that as you are correct. Most people still consider them ricers, but rice burner is more like it lol. I ran with a '88 RX7 Turbo 2 ~300hp...something about a rotory motor that is so simple its confusing ^.^

Not sure how typical it is on motorcycles but its pretty common to have some blow-off from the filter once it goes into the atmosphere. A longer can in height would help eliminate the blow-off because it can contain more pressure. however, unsure of how large it needs to be in order to reduce this blow-off.
