Oh, a crankcase filter cannister - I was getting really excited that someone was going to put a nitrous tank on an airhead...

That's what my hubby thought it was, too!  Could get a lot of conversations going with that one.

I'd keep the big canister, paint it blue and add some faux AN alodined hardware It'll look like a NOS system and totally freak out the boulevard poseurs. Oh, shag me, baby!  [smiley=lolk.gif]

all one would have to do is get a CO2 cylinder for a paintball gun and paint it NOS baby blue!!

if i would ever play with NOS i would go get a KZ1000 or GS1000, lots of cheap add on power goodies.

i still may make a smaller can for the oil catch can. love to find a old tin style oil can that you had to use a can cut two little triangles in or those self cutting spouts for a over flow can. even thought about taking a remote oil filter and running the lines and just have one line running back up under the tank for the breather.

the thing with the big can is i had it in the shop and wanted to use it for some time just never found the right thing to use it on.

thats cuz my wife said if i wanted a girl friend she would have to be willing to clean the house and do the laundry. havent found one willing so i have motorcycles as my mistress. so instead of smelling of another womens purfume i smell like ground metal, welding smoke and motor oils, plus i think my wife likes the smell  ;D another nice side affect is my boys like helping so they are aways clsoe at hand and i know what they are up to and where they are at, getting into trouble with me instead of drugs and such.

Sounds like you have all angles well covered.  It's nice to have young-uns that are like minded, you can enjoy their company and also kind of know how they think so you can anticipate actions/reactions properly.
