Have been wanting to add a catch can since I add the force winder. Saw this can in another thread. It is from Pegasus Racing and tucks away nicely.

I don't know how much that can is but there are tons on ebay for less than forty bucks.

I made my catch can out of an aluminum Mt. Dew bottle for under $2. My favorite catch can that I'd like to put on my next build was built by one of the Twin Buell companies over in Europe. The guy posted a link with pics of the prototype, and it was awesome, but it's just over $100. It had Billet caps with some sort of glass-like cylinder to view the contents.

I got the Pegasus catch can, it was like $15 bucks.

You can sorta see it here:

Joe,

It is nicely tucked away on that yellow S1 but I would always be worried that the drain valve might vibrate open and put oil on my rear tire at the worst possible time.

Safety wire might be a good plan to keep that from happening.

I have the same can but it is out in the open on the right side like Brinnutz'

Dave, good idea about lock wire, thanks. I have experience with oil on the rear tyre. I have a jazz can on the S3 up behind the license plate with a 90 degree drain valve, going to have to look into that also. Maybe something like a valve handle safety strap that can be released without redoing. I will have to check that out.
