Just looking at winter changes and realise that my oil and fuel breather currently run to the floor. What do you guys use just like a alli type thing
etc.?
Any pics and places to get from would be great.

I run an old small plastic medicine bottle on my supermoto race bikes. works fine. IF you want fancy stuff then you can pay £££'s for it. But it
isn't needed.

I used a thermos, because it's...um shiny 
 
Catch Tank
But an empty can of Stella will perform just as well

I just have a tube going upwards finishing at bonnet level with a little breather filter. Does the job nicely...

Alloy catch tank with breather - here
Not too expensive and keeps the scrutineers happy! I may go for a lighter option though... :-)

take a trip to wiklinsons and have a look at thair stianless steel coffee/sugar containers - for about £ 3 or so; I reckon with a bit of modifying
would make a very nice catch tank.
I am using a kit kat bottle, but being steel, is shoing signs of rusting so w likley to be changing it.
ebay - red anodised for £ 38 in post
if that is too mcuh, whcih let's face it, it is, then a trip to wilkinsons again, and use an aluminium watter bottle.

A thimble, bike engines are that well engineered they don't breath more than a thimble full a year, in fact in 6 years mine hasn't chucked
a drop out, yup still have coke can just in case.

Looks flash till they take a couple of knocks, then they look like you have attached an old can to your car.
