I just ordered this. No chance of dripping from the filter. Now, ill be able to just unscrew the bottom half and pour it out.
They also have this in black.

I just put a DK Custom Products catch can on mine. Joined the two lines from the head breathers inside the 114 air cleaner into a single line. Ran the single line down just below the motor to the catch can. Didn't want to drip oil on the road. Tired of oil in the air cleaner/filter and don't want hot air, oil and water added to cool air in throttle body. We'll see how it does this Spring.

How did you vent the brake reservoir?

Thanks for the suggestion on the can. I have been needing one to replace the breather filter I have on mine that ends up blowing oil all over my leg and the side of the bike.

You could have done it even cheaper if you would have run a hose to the ground. The umbrellas are one way, no need for a filter.

The filter gets saturated and drips. Why not put the hose and filter to the top, so any residual oil drains down the hose back into the motor?
Have done it before and its better. Now I use a catch can, better yet.
