Then I took some 3/8'' fuel hose, routed it down and around the rear cylinder side of the baseplate, up over the rear rockerbox and back throught the frame (where the fuel overflow line is) and down to the ground.

After reading this, it sounds a little Jed Clampitt, but it really isn't. I'll get a few pictures and post them up.

Very cool. I've got it "T"'d off and dumped down below the frame on my 'Train, but it looks kinda ghetto. I'm curious to see how someone else did it.

Thanks.

Here is a pic.

Sorry off topic, but what seat do you have on your bike, r8rs4lf?

You need to insure that your tubing has a continuous flow in the same direction....either down or up is your choice but it needs to be run without any changes of direction where oil can be trapped. (you are actually building a trap just like the pipe under a sink)
If this happens, it will plug your vent system and not allow for proper pressure relief.
End result could be oil leaks at other points on the engine from the presure seeking the path of least resistance.
Not being criticle, just saying....
