big J Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Anybody replaced the oil breather pipe from the case to the frame with a normal breather filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ratchethack Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 BigJ, are you thinking of eliminating the in-frame oil condensor, oil return, and breather box vent? It may be a first for a V11. If so, may I ask why?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Why not just run a hose out to under the rear fender and have it empty into a baby bottle. Joey Dunlops first bike had that I think (it was a 250cc BSA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big J Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 Yeah,I've seen loads of race bikes with breather catch tanks,afaik it's a requirement. I was just going to try something a bit more elegant and simple. I'm not a huge fan of using the frame as an oil condensor,especially if the bike is laid up outside for any length of time,like mines was,with potential corrosion/condensation shit dropping straight into the cases when it's run.

Ryland3210 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 In the "bad old days" my '64 Harley's breather exited into the primary chain housing. Never had to worry about the primary chain running dry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callison Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 There's a guy in New Zealand that has a Sport 1100i with the breather plumbed into a catch tank with oil breather filter. The former oil recovery space in the spine has been converted to additional fuel tank adding about a third of a gallon. On those bikes, that's really a fair percentage of fuel increase over stock. That would probably not be worth the effort for a V11 Sport though since it already has a larger fuel tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
