Can anyone tell me where the catch bottles are routed to on the XBRR? Pictures would be very helpful! I am going to order the XBRR catch bottle assemblies for my race bike and I'm curious how they are routed on the real deal. Thanks in advance! Schmitty | ||

There's one in the tail, too. It's visible at the left hand side of the lower picture posted previously. (Message edited by jos51700 on February 26, 2008) | ||

This is the only picture that I have of the back of the bike.  | ||

This is the one I was thinking of. It's Transmission, if memory serves. I remember it was in a PITA spot for something I wanted to add.....  | ||

Ben, get the bottles from McMaster. I've made my own dual bottle set up for about $10. In fact, I believe I have a few extras. | ||

Crap that's not going to work on my bike, there won't be enough room under my Firebolt fairing.. I thought they were under the tail section. I guess I'll have to figure out my own routing. I bought the Sharskinz tail section, so I should have the room where the passenger seat and storage used to be. Anybody done this? Schmitty | ||

 Here I have only one mounted, but have since split it into 2 bottles and have one for the tranny vent line. | ||

the one for the tranny vent line is mounted in the tail section. | ||

hey rocco do you have a contact number for mcmaster and a part #? also have you stripped down the stock wiring harness and instrument panel? | ||

http://www.mcmaster.com/ In the search heading type in "plastic bottles". Then scroll down a little and you'll see "Rectangle and Square Bottles". We us the D and or E bottles. I'll get a few pics of the set up and post them. It's really simple. I stripped as much out of the harness as I could, but kept the gauge's and warning/ dash lights working. | ||

   It's a simple set up. Bottles from McMaster Carr, everything else from the local hardware store. Use a step drill to drill a hole in the lid and thread a plastic elbow that's threaded on one end and and barbed on the other for the hose. Mine are mounted on either side of the fairing stay using the bolts that hold the fuse boxes on. Run a hose along the side of the bike (throttle side) and tie into the breathers. You can reroute another hose back into the air box, or do what most do and drill a few holes in the top of the bottle to vent them. If you have a problem where the bottles fill up, and puke a little, you have more to worry about then that! Plus if they fill with a little fluid, just unscrew them and empty them. I am making some new brackets to hold them in place. |
