oil catch

Here are two pictures I took really fast...







I have decided not to make a line back to motor. I am going to make a site glass so I can see how full the can is. I am going to weld it together and build a bracket to mount it. Now it is held by zip-ties. I just wanted to make sure it did what it was supposed to. Now I can clean it up, make site glass thing, weld it together, weld tabs for mounting, and install it for good. When I am done I will take some pictures. Again those are not good quality.

Here's my take in this. You aren't going to lose much oil through the breather, so if you check your catch tank often, you don't need to drain it back to the case.



Most catch tanks have 4 bungs on them.



1. Line from head to catch tank

2. Line from breather on motor to catch tank

3. Line from catch tank to oil filler hole

4. Line from catch tank to open air with a filter



Here's my setup on my street bike:







For those of you who want a tiny catch tank, there is a copy in Japan by the name of Kijima. They make a very small catch tank that's pretty trick and is going on my next restomod project. Here's a picture of the catch tank:







You can get it with regular lines for around $65, or with the stainless mesh earl's type hose for around $110.00 plus shipping from Japan. I prefer the stainless hose as it looks better, and it is more resistant to tearing or melting.



Do what you feel most comfortable with, and keep the rubber side down.
