I made a catch can today, two baffles and a drain tap at the bottom. The top spigot will have a small filter attached and the can will be situated between the carbs behind the central downtube. Just haven't decided on an attachment method: Maybe the rear engine mounts or clamped around the downtube. The tap is a Victa lawnmower tap.

Unfortunately I have two leaks at the bottom, one little pinhole and another through the tap thread. More welding tomorrow to seal the pinhole. When finished I'll paint it black, so it'll be as unobtrusive as possible.

Nup, changed my mind, I made pancake filters for the VM34s, so, I'll plumb the reed valve breather into them.
