+Mounted vertically, (which is a more efficient use of it's volume) the drain valve can be installed on the bottom. \\
+Mounted horizontally, the drain valve can be installed on the side (which ends up being the bottom). \\

+===== Homemade PCV Catch Can =====
+===== Joker Machine A/C w/ Internal Breather Path to Catch Can Conversion =====
+This 883R had a Joker Machine A/F setup that vents into the intake stream. ((Imaposer of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=146084&page=22))\\
+The A/C was allowing oil to drip a light oil mist down the right side of the bike. \\
+It seems that the oil was dripping from the vent ports and saturating the bottom of the filter, and then just slowly dripping out. \\
+The Joker Machine venting system was bypassed via a catch can assembly as in the pics below. \\
+A horseshoe, new filter mounting adapter (Mooneyes) and a catch can system was installed. \\

+The bracket for the catch can was fabricated from some scrap steel then powder coated. \\

+The catch can was mounted  to an existing hole in the frame (out of the way between the front lower frame rails). \\
+The location is out of the way yet allows easy access to the drain valve to occasionally empty it. \\
+While there's while there's never much volume in them, the can catches any liquid from the vent instead of it misting on the bike. \\
+The Mooneyes filter adapter allows the use the 4" K&N filter and Joker Machine outer cover. \\
