Catches oil...

actually oil vapors, turns it to liquid and stores or returns it to the crankcase so it doesn't spew out everywhere. Oil on a street tire with cars around is no bueno!!

1. Rear engine case vent.
2. Intake valve tappet cover
3. Oil fill hole. Where the dipstick goes.
Use steel braided hose & Earls fittings on your bike. Looks much better than the plastic hose.

Catch cans also relieve crankcase pressures.
