I just installed a DK customs catch can on my new FXBBS Street Bob 114. The T-joint on the hoses sits in a bit of a tighter spot than anticipated, making the bottom of the T not facing down. I was wondering if this would be an issue, for instance pushing the oil mist from one bolt to the other, instead of down into the catch can. In the other hand, if both breather bolts are putting pressure on the line, it should go down the easiest route, being the catch can. Ive added some pictures to show the current set up.
I used to run a catch-can on both my Slim and my Iron, but everytime I checked
them, there was nothing in them, so I just removed them & ran the hose down
below the frame. These aren't the best pics, but it give somewhat of a visual idea...
I went with that Transformer breather, and after some experimentation, this is what I came up with. This is my first big post also, so if I screw anything up, apologies in advance.
I like Madison's breather bolt idea. For me and the scoots over the years never saw the need for the ctach can,
never owned a scoot released enough oil into the breather system to merit it.
I did make sure to occasionally run seafoam or somethng similar to keep the fuel system clean, cut down carbon deposits jugs valves etc..
