Probably a dumb question, but...

I thought you were supposed to armor all the tires not the seat  ???  ;D

No no no!  Chlorox on the tires!   :P ;D

No no no!  Chlorox on the tires!   :P ;D

Why would ya want to bleach your tires?  You don't like black tires?  Why would you want them white?  They'd get dirty and be black again... ???  :P

Can anyone confirm if a belly pan is the same a a catch can?

A belly pan and catch can are totally different.  
A belly pan is a pan that goes under the bike to catch all the oil if you blow your motor.  If your bike has race body work it will be built-in.  That is to say that the bottom of the fairing is closed to hold about a gallon of oil.

A catch can is a bottle that you route your crank breather or other vent lines to.  Some just route the breather to the air box, I use a small brake fluid bottle zip tied to the frame.

So to pass tech... I have to have a catch can with an overflow to the airbox or route to airbox (sealed as the rules state) the breather hose? ...I have to go read the rules again...  Will ALL my overflow hoses have to goto a catch can? ....can any go to the belly pan?

Got everything else ready cept this catch can crap...

On 4 stroke bikes, the crankcase vents must be routed to a catch can of at least 350cc, this is not the belly pan.

The airbox can be used provided the water drain is closed, that is no oil that might collect in the airbox can drain out.

If a catch can is used, the overflow tube must be routed to the intake area of the carbs, so any overflow goes into the engine.

Battery and cooling system overflows can be routed to another catch can that does not have to be vented to the carbs.

What about the fuel over flow and the fuel air vent hose?  I don't see anything about fuel over flow in the rules.... ???

My crankcase hose is already in the airbox.  All I need is a coolant catch can.  Can anyone suggest something that will work....heat resistant and small.  I have no ideal where or how to mount the can.

Thanks for any help you guys can give.

My catch can is a peice of 3 or 4" pvc pipe (can't remember what size) with two caps glued on each end. Then I drilled a few holes for tubing to enter. Voila. Instant catch can. I'll take some pictures for you.

I have used small plastic bottles like those for brake fluid.

[Mark Bernard]

I have plastic oil bottle on mine. Harley oil bottle of course! lol  ;)

[speedster_1]

How are you securing the plastic bottles?

[RC51Racer]

Hey Mark.....

I'd heard that if you leave the oil out of the Harley it will stop leaking.

Just something I heard.
