Does anyone have pictures of an oil catch can installation? I am wanting to add one to my 2007 Fatboy as opposed to venting it out the bottom of the bike, specifically the DK Customs Catch Can.
I currently have a Screamin Eagle Heavy Breather installed and I know there are some challenges with trying to run external vent lines but I am working on that.
Lots of information from guys that run catch cans like DK, DIY setups, etc, with pictures in the Twin Cam Motors and Engine Mechanical section; lots of help there. I attached a photo of the setup I ran before installing the SE heavy breather on my 98" motor. Crank vents routed to a small pleated filter. Ran the same setup with the heavy breather but had to make modifications for for fitment. Also changed the clear lines to black rubber fuel line and the filter to an enclosed cannister filled with fiber mesh to catch the droplets. Shouldn't need more than this if good ring seal and internal breathers working properly.

Thank you in advance.
to me, the obvious answer would be, have you tried contacting DK and asking them?
I've looked at several videos and pictures across the internet. What I'm looking for is pictures of the catch can mounted on the motorcycle. In most installations this requires making a special clamp and attaching it somewhere on the motorcycle with the appropriate plumbing from the intake. I understand the whole process but again I was only looking to see where people were mounting the catch can on their motorcycle.

Understoood. I will repeat, post your query in the Engine Mechanical section for more and better replies. Stock motor configurations do not need catch cans so post your query where most of the members have modified motors for performance and most vent breathers to the atmosphere and some do run catch cans.
I originally used a catch-can, basically it was a for a karting application.
I located it under the oiltank/behind the transmission. Here's a not-so-good picture,
but its the best I have:
Every time I checked it, there was very little in it, so I removed it and as mentioned above, just ran
the vent hose down below the frame. Here's another not-so-good picture...
