Awesome, I have a full filter / breather / catch can system on order and this video has been excellent for help and ideas on what to do with the catch can location.
TAKE NOTE!!! I only had the DK customs catch can on the bike for 1500kms. In that time 1/4 of the can filled up with an oily condensation. The thread inside the catch can which holds the filter element started to rust and deteriorate badly. I Would not recommend a catch can as it can also pressurise due to the breather holes being extremely small. If you do an external breather mod I'd definantly recommend going with a pod filter instead 👍
I installed one right before a week long trip over 1300 miles on my 114 street bob and when I got home it had just a little bit of oily water mix in the bottom and the treaded piece in the middle was covered in rust. I ended just venting it to the ground because honestly it’s mostly just condensation coming out of it.
I did the same except mounted the catch in the same place,looks neat I used the CNC brake reservoir in the link 22 AUD delivered,I did my plumbing different to you as my screamin eagle 🦅 stage one air cleaner was easier to mod than youre, anyway really happy with the outcome,thanks for the help,hope the Yammie is going well.
Always great content man. I just bought a complete take off Ventilator for $85 on Facebook. Had it powder coated. Gonna put my own spin on this mod for my ‘19 Bob. Thanks for the inspiration. Be safe out there!

Think you should consider o2 sensor removal next, look deep into the subject and eventually you will learn those O2 sensors are not there to adjust the mixture for optimal running. They are there to weaken the mixture for emissions, potentially forcing your motor too run hotter. Good for emissions not good for your bike!
Hey man! They sent me 2 catch cans. I wonder if they saw your video talking about your rust issue? Anyway thanks for the tip - at least I wont be bummed until my second rusts. Lol

You getting any oil accumulating on the top where you drilled the vent holes? I did this to my bike and it's getting oil accumulating on top where the vent holes have been drilled out.
Yes mate, I wouldn't recommend buying it unless they've changed the design since I purchased it. I was pretty disappointed considering it cost me $90 Au. I went back to running a $10 pod filter underneath the frame.
Why not just leave the stock lid seal in the brake reservoir? that's already there and designed to do that job and would probably work much better than Teflon tape.
You're dead right mate good point. I just wasn't sure how well the rubber will hold up with the heat and oil. Despite have a rubber hose at the top of the catch can, I plan on swapping that for a stainless steel braided line.
Sure do mate, there's plenty of eastern brown snakes out this way. They're one of the most venomous snakes in the world. I've had loads of close calls with them over the years.
Thanks for the money saving tip about using a brake reservoir . What's your opinion regarding any existing carbon build up after the mod is done ? Do you you think it will eventually burn off ?
I don't think the existing carbon will burn off due to the way it hardens. That said it's still good to do to prevent excessive carbon from building up
It's not Harley's doing . It's the strict environmental laws in the US . Many other bikes do this but most don't squirt the hot oil vapour so directly down the bike's throat . My ER5 ( Twister ) vents into the airbox on the OUTSIDE of the filter so that the oil condenses and and dribbles down into a transparent catch can .
No sir. That amount of hot oily air coming from the breather bolts and into the intake was that miniscule that it doesn't affect the air fuel ratio however over time that oily mist will cause carbon build up on top of the pistons as its going into the combustion chamber.
I used some small aluminium tube I had 👍 although I wouldn't recommend a catch can. This one rusted badly on the inside after only 1500kms also I believe the catch can would pressurise as it only has tiny vent holes at the top. This could in turn have a negative effect on the head breather bolts. I'd recommend using a pod filter over a catch can 👍
I’ve been enjoying your bikes evolution from over here in Perth, you’ve inspired me for a couple of mods on my ‘19 breakout.

@@TheGingybeardMan I ordered the catch can, and went to Repco to start obtaining the other bits.

No sir, this is only a breather mod which doesn't affect HP. Essentially just diverting oil from your intake into a catch can. I wouldn't recommend a catch can though. If use a pod filter as it will breath easier.
@@TheGingybeardMan Well that certainly sucks. I thought it was billet aluminum. It should be for what they get for it. Did you locate your pod in the same place up front as before?
@@RealSuperRando yes I've mounted the pod filter back under the frame. The catch can itself is billet aluminium but inside the internals house steel bolt which holds the 3 filter elements together and that bolt has rusted out really quickly.
The filter was always going to be temporary until I could get the bracket to mount my catch can as stated in my last vid. I'd prefer to catch the blow by oil in a can than drop it onto the road when the filter fills up.
at this stage it's hard to gauge as I havnt put alot of kms on he bike since installing it. I'll check it everytime my air cleaner needs cleaning so probably every 4000 kms. I probably clean my air cleaner a little too often but I prefer my bike to breath well.

Need to mount it out of sight. Too nice of a bike to junk it up with that ugly hose. I’ve never heard anyone ask another rider, where’s your catch can?
To catch the oil coming out of the heads. You could have it running to a pod filter but I dnt like the fact that if the filter overfills, oil will then drop onto the road.
No sir I sold this bike 2 years ago. One thing I will say is don't buy a DK customs catch can. It started to rust badly on the inside after only 1200kms
The water would be condensation build up from heat being put into the catch can. My catch can thread started rusting on the inside so I ditched it and went back to a pod filter
There's 4 ways to divert the oil from the heads. 1- feed oil back into the intake (the factory harley way) 2 - allow oil to drop onto the ground (not a great idea) 3 - run oil to a filter (which will require cleaning as when its full the oil will also drop onto the ground) 4 - or the most sensible way In my opinion is to catch the oil in a catch can.
@@TheGingybeardMan yeah just noticed it. I went through video kinda fast and missed it thanks. I thought the bracket came with hour kit since mine didn’t 😂

Is this why my fuel injector throttle body is all black and mucked up?

Nice Bike !!!!
Thank you sir
just cut the diagram in the brake canister and then put foam in.
Need to mount it out of sight. Too nice of a bike to junk it up with that ugly hose. I’ve never heard anyone ask another rider, where’s your catch can?
how did it go with the heat of the exhaust?
No issues at all so far👍
over time I'd say heat will affect the hose but I'll end up changing it for a stainless steel braided hose.
@@TheGingybeardMan yep nice work man , i will do the same type of thing when i get home
😎😎😎
How much oil are we talking about?
I've never measured it over time, but a mist enough to cause excessive carbon to build up.
Why do u have to put on a catch can ?
To catch the oil coming out of the heads. You could have it running to a pod filter but I dnt like the fact that if the filter overfills, oil will then drop onto the road.
Any recent follow on videos?
No sir I sold this bike 2 years ago. One thing I will say is don't buy a DK customs catch can. It started to rust badly on the inside after only 1200kms
Looks great, all good mate?
Thanks mate, all is well 👍
mine has water only no oil at all
The water would be condensation build up from heat being put into the catch can. My catch can thread started rusting on the inside so I ditched it and went back to a pod filter
Over priced
I agree mate, It was actually a rubbish product. the thread inside the cap started to corrode after only 1000kms.
There must be a better way , then a catch can
There's 4 ways to divert the oil from the heads.
1- feed oil back into the intake (the factory harley way)
2 - allow oil to drop onto the ground (not a great idea)
3 - run oil to a filter (which will require cleaning as when its full the oil will also drop onto the ground)
4 - or the most sensible way In my opinion is to catch the oil in a catch can.
@@TheGingybeardMan / How about running it back to the crank case .
@@victorgonza4528 that would require drilling and tapping the crankcase to allow a return line. Something I don't want to do.
Where did you get the brackets 🥲 I need this for my setup
Mate all the info is in the video.
@@TheGingybeardMan yeah just noticed it. I went through video kinda fast and missed it thanks. I thought the bracket came with hour kit since mine didn’t 😂
