Now, *this* is the shiz:

No lame filters. Use a catch can that you can mount cleanly, and drain when needed. Available in clear (so you can polish) or for me the choice would be black.
UltraK, considering your penchant for cleanliness, I simply cannot be-LIEVE you just vented to atmosphere right behind the air cleaner. Messy messy. You'll see.

1. how much is this thing?
2. is the catch can sealed airtight, and if so, how does it allow the crankcase to continue to breath?
Any other catch can options out there? Anybody else having to wipe oil off of their bike?

You got that right RKK, those filters just get saturated and drip on what ever is underneath. I routed my lines down and under the right floorboard pointed away from rear tire. I am looking for a sano catch can to mount somewhere and haven't found one yet, I have seen some online that look OK but I'm not gonna keep buyin cans online till one works right, so the search continues.
Looks like this is the answer to our problems. It still breaths and has a reusable sponge inside that can be removed and cleaned.

Just seems like overkill to me. As far as the sensors etc getting gummed up if you run dirty oil long enough anything will get gummed up. The majority of the oil stays in the filter and a very small amount (on my bike anyway) actually finds its way into the throttle body. I did a total intake manifold clean using sea foam and the intake side looks clean and oil free. And i dont think this ventilation system would put enough oil in the intake to cause the sparkplugs to foul and cause heavy carbon deposits that sounds like a ring or intake valve guide problem. But like I have said b4 nothing wrong with wasting time on a sat, just dont want the newbies to freak out and think that this would cause any damage. We are also overlooking the benefit of injecting a little oil on top of the piston which would include total lubrication of the intake valve and the topside of the cylinder, just like any rotary, two cycle, or any other air cooled motor should have. Use a good fuel additive and intake cleaner and the engine will be fine.

Note to newbies: Dont reroute your crankcase breathers unless you have an "excessive" amount of oil in your intake manifold and air cleaner.

Well, I got around to doing my blow-by setup. I appreciate all the feedback and pics. I decided to go with something that wouldn't show unless you were looking for it but it still provides ease of maintenance, cleaning, and reinstalling. The maintenance on this setup is no more involved than cleaning the air filter. Matter of fact, it will get cleaned simultaneously for continuity. The end result will be a cleaner burn as the oil mist will be routed to atmosphere vs. straight down the throttle body where it can gum up the components and junk.
In keeping with the theme of my bike I used black and chrome hardware.
Pic 1 is the where it all started.
3/8' fuel line.........black of course.
Tools and parts used. I didn't use the small hose clamps as I didn't need them
Backside of the Right PowerPACC vent........illustrating the incognito clamp. That bump will face toward the motor out of sight.
Like this............this is how it will be displayed.
Easily slid into place making for easy access and cleanup
Different angle
Can't even see it!!
I think I see it back there somewhere.....LOL!!
DONE!! HOLLA!!
I see you hiding back there!!
Total cost of project including filter..................$10
