| ===== 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. \\ |

| | |
| | 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. \\ |
