Hopefully I won't fire up too much debate on this but this is an additional crankcase vent.

When I took this bike for a test ride last year after it was first mocked up and in running condition, I notice the vent line on top of the engine didn't have its hose hook on and it had vented some oil all over the top of the engine. When I brought it back to the shop, I also brought with me a new hose and breather filter to install. My mechanic was adamant about having a vent line added on the filler cap added because he thought my rebuilt engine had additional pressure inside from the mods that RapidRay did to it engine rebuild (must be because of those plutonium rods that Ray stuck inside ). Anyhow, I relented and he added a vent line.

Now I have a two vents one from the upper and the the oil fill cap and they each has its own breather filter similar to the attached picture that are tuck under the seat. I don't have a good picture of them but I will show one the next time I get it out for a ride.

Cool. Ive probably been warped from reading too many drag race (auto related) magazines, where the exhaust is used to draw a vacuum on the engine. On mine i ran a line from the valve cover vent to the exhaust exit, where a vacuum is pulled on the engine thru a venturi effect. Vacuum was measureable with a manometer. Probably has no realtime effect, but who knows?

I was going to run a T for both valve cover and oil filler into a catch can.
Before doing that I put a pressure gauge on my oil filler cap while I was running a catch can off of the valve cover vent ONLY. I saw no pressure build up so, I omitted the filler breather. GS1166

I'm hoping the last Nor'easter has passed and everything starts turning green again. ]

Holy smokes, it’s been four years.... still love that bike.

Been a while. Went through a divorce, got remarried, moved, change jobs; but, I still have this bike.

Wishing you happy times ahead. Glad you held onto the GS.

You've been busy. haha.
Hope to see some more pics of your beautiful bike out on the road when the weather finally gets better.

great build

what do you need to do to bolt on 93 GSXR front end? Are the forks the same length? Any geometry impact with fork length or triple tree offset/rake?

for the rear wheel fitment - sprockets line up or does countershaft sprocket need to be spaced?

thanks
