449/511 Breather hose mod

Can't you ever draw any pictures ? Ha ha

Finger painting?

I think pencil and crayons will work but I think green board and chalk with laser pointer is best

Actually, you can mount my breather bottle to either side of the cylinder, a small bracket can be made to accomplish this.

That sounds like way too much work. I am going to bypass the bracket fabrication and just carry my bottle in my lap, or an over the tank luggage rack, that would be super rad.

You could also remove the stock battery and swap for a capaciter. With the extra room in the gas tank slot you could fit in a breather box there... You would need to carry a battery on your wrist though....

I have decided to increase the engine life of my 511, so next time I go riding I am going to just push my bike around.

Me too ! I'm not riding mine untill it has a box lol

On the new breather bottles, would you rather have hose fitting that were pressed in, or threaded fittings which will allow for hose fittings and AN fittings?

Here's my solution. 1200 cc oil after oil and filters drain. Seems to work fine, nothing makes it to the filter. I'll end up making a dust shield for the filter at some point. I got a measured 1150 cc of oil from the engine and filter when I drained it, it had puked out at least 100 cc before that. I may like this bike again. Thanks for the encouragement on oil levels and such.

pressed in.

You should give the option of press in......

I like the battery compartment idea. Will look into it.

Great idea! Ive been looking to lose a few pounds! Im going to make sure my tires are flat first!
I would imagine that pressed in would only leave one less part to loosen up.

If pressed in is what everyone wants, I imagine they all will be that way. I will tap mine out for AN fittings, I'm tired of hose clamps...

Well , FYI the drain hole for the battery area is huge and looks like if I can find a battery small enough to share room with the breather bottle I can make a 2 sided box to silicone in and JB weld a return line stuffed in the drain hole then route that carefully around the shock to to a AN fitting threaded to a modified stock filler cap , run the vent line into the back fender or could find batteries small enough to fit in the fender ..... Any thoughts ?? lol

I think I will make a battery tray to bolt on the right side of engine then that would give more room for a box under the seat ! That's what's going to happen if the hose will clear the shock then all a will have to do is build a lid .... word

Is that Zip-ties or Zip-ty's? lol
