[keefer]

it wont catch F all
they are over kill for a road engine
and any oil residue that is blown up there will slide back down
the idea is just to give it all a lot more space so that oil doesn't get blown into the air box like on the standard set up
there are other options though
like hollowing out the standard read valve and putting the valve into the air box like on a 748R
that's the mane problem with the standard setup
the read valve is to close to the crank case the oil just doesn't get a chance to flow back
Shazam has done a good right up on it. have a dig about under his post's

Thanks for that - I had a look 'round their site, some good stuff. I found one from a dealer in Germany for the right price, which should arrive next week all being well.
Where did you get hold of the pipework to plumb it in, did you use original Duc. stuff, or just straight lengths of stock car type water/heater hose?

[keefer]

you can still get the top pipe that goes to the air box from Ducati
but they don't do the lower ones any more
you can get a good substitute from Halfords
its has a flexi middle so wont crease when going from the crank to the breather

I got hold of a set of Corse tubes in the U.S.
