Ah thanks WKNDS, that helps a lot and explains it thoroughly. i’ll just hook up the case vent hose to the vent hose in the oil tank and be done with it.

He set me straight. Vent in tank as last post .

cool, thanks for looking into it BA, it makes it easy to vent through the oil tank anyway. once i get that new tank i’ll get it all buttoned up. working on the electrical right now

going to wire using this diagram:

but i’ll add a jumper from the starter relay to ground so i don’t have to have that installed. there’s a write up on XL that covers this:

i haven’t talked with Ledsled. i’ve emailed a few times about a couple different things with no response, so i’m going on my own. i’m not mad, since i did order the components seperately. it could be a number of issues i created while putting this thing together. either way, i’m not giving up!

so, i noticed both the return and vent inlets don’t appear to have a tube that would go above the oil level. hmm, that seems weird to me. so that would mean the vent line would need to sit at the 12 o’clock position when installed, right? well that moves the filler neck to a 3 o’clock position, which would lessen the amount of oil i can add.




if that would work, i think my chain clearance would be acceptable.

in a position where the filler cap is upright,the vent and return inlets sit at a 9 o’clock position, so that shouldn’t work, correct?



also, this really doesn’t work well be cause the oil tank fill is basically blocked by the seatstay. switching it to the other side gives me the clearance, but i’d have to put it up on a lift or block the kickstand in order to add/check oil.

Yeah, it's been modified past that point of exchanging it. i just sent ledsled an email with some pics. hopefully they can help.
