Use a filter instead of a can.Your engine will breath better.Not sure iif either will work if you have the stock carb and cover. Hoses have to run from the breathers with aT- connection to run off the 2 hoses and to connect to one hose for the filter.

I have this one on my Buell, $42 dollars from a guy in Canada. Billet machined alloy, it came with pipework and mounting bracket. ( Filter was seperate item)



He is still selling them, here is the link..

It comes with 4 inlets that need to be plugged, I used rubber blanking plugs from the local Auto dealer, Still looks pretty good though ( for the price)

Hope this is of some help.
