 ====== Installing a Catch Can on the Breather Vent Line ====== ====== Installing a Catch Can on the Breather Vent Line ======
-===== WD-40 Catch Can ===== +This one is 4" long and 1-5/8" in dia. \\ 
-An old WD-40 can with the top cut out to drop the vent line into. \\ +The fittings can be installed however you like for your application (mounting position). \\ 
-The can vents to atmosphere. \\ +Mounted vertically, (which is a more efficient use of it's volume) the drain valve can be installed on 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 https://​www.xlforum.net/​forum/​sportster-motorcycle-forum/​sportster-motorcycle-intake-and-exhaust/​sportster-motorcycle-air-intake-carburetor-efi-fuel-and-exhaust/​44522-show-me-your-non-stock-breather-systems/​page22?​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. \\
