This ended up working well for me, so I thought I would share.
I wanted to externally vent my crankcase, instead of on the inside of this Performance Machine air filter.
I ended up using my drill press and slide vise to machine a couple new channels in the backing plate.
I then reversed the two rubber ducks (the crankcase vent ducts) right to left, and installed them sticking out the rear of the backing plate.
I made a bracket for support and connected these to hose running to an external catch can with vent.
I also made a temporary 'rain cover' for the AC, which shows in the pics. Just did a 4k road trip and all worked perfectly!
I like the way you modded the backing plate to get the hoses out. I suspect that your trap may be too small tho. I find after many miles, the filter on top collects the oil and it blows back on the bike. It's better to simply run a hose down and away from the rear tire.
