Catch can - brand/install/where?

[user 11561]

Gents,
Catch cans - Homemade or bought? Where on the bike have you mounted yours? How have you installed it? One for fuel and one for oil or one for both? Regulations on tracks?
Pictures/links would help!

Cheers

[Satchy]

Mate thats got nothing to do with the topic

 

[michaelgunning]

yeha i know sorry

 

[jovian]

pretty much any bottle can be used if ur bash plate is still i reckon u could fashion something pretty good out of that. remember catch can's need to be able to breath also and best if u have a container which can be easily drained. if hoses become fully submerged in fluids can create back pressure and bike won't work properly.

wat else is every 1 using???

i have made some nice alloy ones that bolt up to your seat bolts, have a look at my vid and paus it on 0.58 seconds for a good look. YouTube - Dirtmax Pro CNC Race Motard

it will trap any excess oil during a race, then allow it to drain back to the engine once turned off.

i know...iknow..........you dont have to tell me............its a brillant idea..

Can sell you one for 80.00

 

[china boy788]

any other pics or vids about that can catch?
