Nice!! Where did you pick up the line and plastic T and filter?
Not mine, but I just put one of these together.
I didn't want that type of filter or it hanging down so far. DK sells a (way over priced IMHO) kit with the worlds smallest catch can/breather. Some searching and that Golan can/breather can be had for less than half of the $42 plus shipping Dennis Kirk charges. I got mine HERE with free shipping over $49 because I bought something else too.
I used about a foot of 3/8" vacuum hose (also from O'Reilly's) as it's much more compliant than fuel hose in Screamin's example. For fittings, I used the two included 1/4" x 3/8" reducers in Dorman 47308. The 1/4" side will go into the stock hoses coming off the breather bolt connectors once you remove the stock tee. On the other end, I attached 3/8" vacuum hose mentioned above, down to a Nylon Barb Tee. The bottom of the tee got another short piece of 3/8" vacuum hose to the can/breather. I used a total of 6 zip ties instead of the worm clamps.
Total was less than $25. Less than 1/3 of the DK kit.
And then I just saw an even more efficient way to do it... THIS METHOD doesn't require a tee or the two hose reducers. Just some hose, filter (or the catch can/breather I'm using) and a worm clamp. I put my can/breather in the bottom of my stock filter housing (where the hose passes through it in the photo above) but up against the stock filter housing like Aqua did.
Have Kury passenger floorboards and like them a lot as they are large and adjustable. My issue is they never looked "finished" as you can see the mounting studs and rubber darts from the pads. Decided to play with the Mrs.' laser and found some scrap anodized aluminum. The rest is history. Cost? Electric. Scrap wood, aluminum and two-sided tape.

Used Mrs. laser to make an embosser in a croc pattern to try and make my backrests look more like my seats. Took some scrap wood and a drawn croc pattern and burned the embosser. I knew I couldn't get it to match exactly as I would have to order it from the same manufacturer.... but for some time and virtually no cost...
Stock Kuryakyn backrest like mine...
Took to passes to burn the wood deep enough to use as an embosser, then cut the wood to the shape of the center panel.
Final product. Didn't have to remove the cover from the seatback...
