Does anyone have a catch can on their Dog, if so, does it make a difference?

Any pics?

1. Makes a difference of peppering the oil on the bike or plumb it out past the rear tire.
2. Maintenance wise, gurgle-gurgle goes out the filter on the V-twin breather body.
3. Speedaddy has the sight tube so less thread spinning than on the vt.
4. Bulky and many parts is the sd. V-t has those filters at the auto store all day long.
5. More air flow with a small unit is longer hoses. Especially hose under swing and out at the end of the swing arm. Screw the filter... straight race.
6. Short hose that almost drags hitting the ground? Too dirty is the for every action, the dirt goes up the hose. How far can it travel back, I do not have that answer.
7. Without the filter but a hose out to the back of the bike, that vt overfills, you can see it with a clear hose and belch out enough to know to drain the vt collector.

The one on my bike makes a big difference, catches oil, reduces the mess, can be draining when needed, no oil dripping on bike or rear tire...etc. Took me a couple of tanks to find the right fit and look I wanted.

Not a lot lot options for location of it on the bike, i use a turkey baster to empty it as needed, just screw off the air filter and suck out the fluids, it is much cleaner with this than the previous crankcase breather I was using.

EVO’s are known to be inconsistent when it comes to puking oil, but for the most part I empty it maybe once a month depending on how often i ride it( it’s my kick around bike).

It does make a difference, not near the mess. I am looking at another mounting spot or change the filter location. I get oil splatters on the outer driver casing and it causes a bit more cleaning, may have to take that as a good as it gets, but still thinking/looking at options. I like the catch can and bracket, good investment.
