Default Homemade Breather

Here is a pic of my homemade breather. After I installed the SE aircleaner and cylcleshack slip-ons I got oil spewing all over my engine and on my legs. Problem is solved now. I have a hose running down to the ground. It's not the prettiest thing but it can't be seen once the ham can is installed.

What's all the red crapola on the bolts? You can get nylon washer to fit the bolts so you don't hace to use gasket sealer or rtv. You sre right though. No more mess.

Iv'e been using the same set up for years now. I don't use red goop or plastic gaskets and there's really no mess.

It's liquid gasket, and it's a done deal.
