Mystery canister? 95 softail

While replacing the voltage regulator on my 95 softail and ran into this canister. The top hooks to the oil jug. I looked in my manual, and I can't locate it.

Part of the old disconnected evap system the EPA mandated back then, that's the charcoal canister. I took off a bunch of those and about 6 feet of useless hose for people back then.

California bike with EPA garbage. You can remove it. Or leave it on so we won't get any more hurricanes.
