Anyone make their own Trask crankcase vent?
I've looked at the Trask check m8 vent and it looks good but it's very basic for the price. We'll over $500.00 up here in Canada. I did see a video on YouTube of a guy made his own. I thought about that the second I saw the Trask one. For a small filter, some hose, a couple hose barbs and a check valve it coukd be easy and cheap.

Yes. Use the reed valve linked in #2 above. I bought another metal trans cover and drilled it for the hose fitting. The reed valve is tucked up under the seat and wrapped in thick vinyl (old remnants from an above ground swimming pool), protects adjacent wiring. I ended up running a hose to the rear of the bike, too much oil misting had to add a catch can. My 2018 has the stock unsealed oil pump which I’m upgrading soon to the revised pump with sealed plate to cut down on the vent mist.

IMO - look for sales on Trask parts...don't jeopardize your $pendy motor w/ MacGyver homemade attempts you see online.
