I like that do-dad! I wouldn't mind doing the same. I tried to find on EBay but no luck. You by chance have a link?
Yea, I'd like to know where to find this as well.

I looked and the guy isn't active on ebay anymore. Wasn't a great seller (item) I suppose.

I like the thing I have but I'm going to remove it for the DIY version mentioned above. Just easier, cheap, and suspect it holds more.

My little catch bottle seems to be working well. However, I'm not really getting much oil. At the last oil change there was just a few cc's of what looked like cafe au lait, i.e. condensation colored with oil vapor.

FWIW- I'm at 3,400 miles and so far its working well. Its an Echo "power blend" 6.4 Oz container.I only mention the brand because its dimensions and shape fit perfect in the stock air filter housing. I used a heated paper clip to poke holes in the cap for venting ( remember, this WAS after several glasses of **** Creek and then just kept opening up the hole for the breather hose till it had a good press fit to hold it in the bottle. Making sure to keep it off the bottom of the bottle so liquid doesn't prevent it from breathing.

Let's hope you don't get the caffeine shakes while you're cleaning it out!

Anyone done a similar mod on an M8 Ventilator filter assembly and have quality pics?

The M8 vents to the transmission?

Where can I see that?

Transmission is pressurized by head vents? Tranny oil migrates to primary... doh!

Tell me this isn't why the tranny oil migrates?

It doesn't. Was miss reported by HD Manufacturing engineer.. Journalist weren't smart enough to see it was wrong.

You can't but you will see an oil return line for the heads..

Nothing to do with Tranny transfer issue.

same here, i’ve been getting the milky liquid during summer. This winter (40s degrees), a lot of water stuff accumulated in the catch can. video below is from a 200 mile ride/45 degrees

It's hard to see on your video but I don't see another outlet on your catch can to allow it to vent, is there one somewhere that I can't see?
