In the automotive service here back in the day of early emission controls, the fuel vapors from the carb vent hoses went to a charcoal canister where they were filtered before going to the atmosphere.Maybe a small charcoal filter along those lines would suffice. Search out "Purge Control Canister" in the auto parts stores. (Not to be confused with a PCV, that stands for "Positive Crankcase Ventilation") My 81 GL1100 had something similar in the form of a catch can on it that the air box drained into, commonly called a puke tank. That is all it was... a catch can.

A catch can is literally all I need and is what I'm planning on, I've just got to find something suitable to use. Not too stressed about it as I don't think that will be terribly difficult to sort out.

If the seat design flows with the grab-rail/tail and tank, it will be glorious!
What are you making the heat shied out of? Might I suggest a piece of shielding from a catalytic converter?

Pete, you sheep shagging, Auzzie SOB, I told you it looks good in the garage, but outside in the natural light it is first class, well done mate, take a bow, that bike looks gorgeous.
And to think you kept us waiting this long for these pics....yeah yeah yeah, I know, the weather and the sun and all that jazz, bloody auzzie weather, no wonder my daughter wants up and out of the place and wants to come home after only a year there.
You are on the road to one beautiful ride there mate.
