Anyone come up with a good location for the Pegasus racing catch can if used for a trans vent?

I want to keep the catch cans separate for the crank vent and trans vent. The only place I am coming up with for the trans vent catch catch is the forward bag support. If I mount it to the inside I THINK I can clear the inner bag notch...but the hugger fender is real close.

I can't be 100% sure because the bags are still out at the painters.

Anyone find a better spot?

It's unusual to run an oil catch_can to transmission breather because when the seal fails a catch_can probably wouldn't hold all the oil.

Probably be better to replace the seal with the updated version before it fails and forget the can.

For SAFETY every BUELL should have a catch container installed on the TRANSMISSION BREATHER HOSE !!!

If your motor sprocket seal goes bad you will not know it until you fall on your arse in a corner because of oil on your rear tire !!!}

My bike only has about 10K miles on it, the breather hose is bone dry and the primary oil level is right where it should be.

I'm re-rerouting the hose in addition to installing the catch can because the PO shortened the vent hose and positioned it above the hugger in away that had the air filter on the hose get crushed between and hugger and the top/side of the well..that ruined a carbon fiber hugger...I have the original hugger, that's going back on.
