Keep the check valve installed but extend the hose to the ground.

If you decide you like it and want to keep it, you can get a "puke can" and use it.

I installed one of these, got it the idea from Raywood. Not much of a link, just an astrik but it works.

I can post a picture of where to mount it, all you have to do is get a longer hose. Or you can do it like alhall88 mentioned, extend the hose to an area under the dog and be done with it. I would put a filter at the end of the hose.

Another option you can consider - I went to AutoZone, found a small filter and attached it directly onto the check valve - L@@K in my galerry there is a pic of it, looks good and works well. I prefferred that to running a hose all the way to the ground, your call.

As far a cans go, got one from Golan, never used it but is worth considering, you can mount it where you think appropriate. Breathers, Motorcycle Petcocks, Chopper Fuel Valves & Tank Selectors - Golan Products

jimi, I like to keep things clean so I routed mine back to the carb. I have a Wimmer and they make there bracket that goes between the carb and elbow that has a plumbed fitting for the rear breather hose. Keeps it nice, clean and simple.

Ray. You say that is a wimmer. Mine is really close to that but a little different. I will try to post up some pictures here real soon and find out what the deal is.

Yep, just a Wimmer bracket with the elbow then I put on a Green filter. Works great and is clean and neat.

Run the rear to the ground.

And the front can stay on the intake.

I guess these are just breathers? I know they are but are they just another option ontop what you have on yours?

All the models breathed through those bolts that attach the bracket to the head. This was changed in 05 to the twin-cam style breathing system and those breather bolts are no longer used.

Hey, clean up that carb. Your starting to look like me!!!

Funny you should mention the dirt. I did that today after looking at those pictures this morning.
