Not to thread jack but what pipe it that on the re lightning in "chris_xb12s" post?

Its a piece of fuel injector hose mate. Got it from my local auto parts shop as they didnt have any standard fuel pipe in the right size.

Chris that is a nice pipe! You dont got frame pucks on that beast? Youll be kicking urself if u put her down and didnt drop that $50

 

[Stevexb12Ss]

and what is this mod excactly good for again?? if you don't mind me asking??[confused]

 

[chris_xb12s]

I have frame pucks ready to fit. its still a bit cold to fit them as it says the glue works best in slightly warmer conditions. I'll get some new pictures up soon.

Plenty of How to's to be found by searching Breather reroute.
As to what it does....Reroute worth doing? and here's a LENGTHY discussion about it....DIY Breather Reroute

Dont know if you can see in this picture but i run a similar set up. Providing you drain the oil often enough there seems to be no problems. I usually check it every 250 miles.

Nice colors, I have the same. Which exhaust is that???

Earlier, Chris said, "Its a stealth engineering pipe, hand made here in the UK. search on youtube and it should come up."

 

[chase12s]

but can I actually buy one in the U.S.?

 

[Stevenc150]

It's hand-made so I doubt it. Might get one of the UK guys, maybe Chris XB12S, to get one and send it to you. Or if you're really determined, you might check out UKBeg and get connected through there.

Did not read all the comments, but a small hint to do a pro job on sealing the holes left in the filter canister. Use a couple of covers used to seal holes in SS sinks, these fit perfect after you enlarge the original holes a little, it look smart too...you can find these in any hardware store,,, can post some photos later if any one is interested, but I am over seas at the moment.

Awesome write up and response's. makes it so easy for the rest of us. I'm going to do it tonight and I'll get back to you guys tomorrow to see how it went.

Thanks again![up][up][up]

 

[LOK222]

can someone please confirm.. 5/8" or 3/8" ? I'm about to go buy the things but one write up as 3/8" and one has 5/8"

 

[Stevenc150]

I've still had a little piece of the original off my bike hanging in the garage. It's 3/8".

 

[LOK222]

You are the man Stevenc150. thanks!

I was at the store checking this thread on my blackberry and I bought the 3/8! hopefully tonight or if not tomorrow I can install!

I just did this mod and yes.. what a difference. Thanks Guys! I had a little bit of a hard time routing the hose to the rear and am still not sure if its in the best spot. Anyone have any photos of how they routed the hose out the rear?

Thanks

Did mine like CITYXSD did in the thread below. Only thing is I placed the small air filter so it's visible and routed the end of the hose all the way down and under the footpeg leaving it open.

Thanks bro!

I just finished my breather reroute. I tried to keep it hid and keep the bike looking stock. I hid the breather filter under the seat by the shock and ran the hose down the swing arm and by the brake line. This is just another option to add to the many ways to run the reroute. Let me know what you guys think of this positioning.
