That is something you have to figure out for yourself. Size, material, how to attach the hoses, how to vent the catch can, how to attach the can, how to drain and clean the catch can. I went quick and cheap. I used a silicone plastic gerber baby bottle. It is see thru so I can see what is inside. It unscrews easily for emptying and cleaning. Zip tied to the frame so it detaches quickly and easily. I punched 4- 1/8' holes to vent the bottle. I cut the nipple and shoved the hose thru the nipple.It is about 4-5 oz so its small and fits just in front of the shifter. It is not pretty but it works exactly how I want it to work. Others have put much more money any thought into it and will find my bottle crude. I don't care.

I just routed the tube to the bottom of the frame rail on the primary side. Runs between the cylinders and down by the tranny vent.

My breather tube's run into my aircleaner,just outside of my filtron type element. (rubber foam)
guess my bike doesnt have much "blowby" ,because it barley keeps the bottom of the filter damp.
I still have to wash/reoil the cleaner ..heck I thought I would have a self oiling aircleaner..

Why worry about a can? Just drain it into the air.
