Old thread but Thanks!
Not many people have stated to initially run the tubing high enough above the heads.
Wise indeed.
I am modding a stock 2005 Sporty air cleaner to route the oily air out. Then use your advice above.
For the last part of the hose I will use clear tubing to see the oil accumulated.

Or just run it to a catch can so you dont have 5 miles of hose wrapping around your bike.

In my opinion a hose is far neater than a dangly messy can.
Running the usual catch can down below the air filter, as almost all do, will definitely result in a full/overflowing catch can mess on your bike. And it will need emptying far more often.
Ive been with guys on a long run and seen the oil dripping over the engine.

Grancudas point is when you run the hose high, the oil will line the inside of the hose and can run back down to engine, before collecting in a long hose or even a catch can.

I 👃 what his point is. You totally missed mine by stating dangly messy can lmao 😆
I was thinking of a nice small or large catch can mounted like a 3rd grader didnt do it or a small or large can hidden.
3rd, I dont think you know what a catch can is, at all
4th as almost do me offer no almost so advice
5th If its messy that is not a catch can. Catch cans dont spill or are not messy if done above the 5th grade level
