Anyone doing the breather bypass on your M8?

Gotta use your imagination and time to get this how you envision it.
On my wife’s bike I connected two 10” hoses to a t fitting. Than added a hose of about 35” from the t. Ran in between the two jugs. Along the primary towards the front. To the down tube. And zip tied it right there on the bottom. Cut it and done.
no kinks and none of it on bike.
Its not rocket science LOL

Looks good. I’m thinking about doing the same thing, but was wondering about putting the T down lower as I was concerned about it going up top straight across....want to assist with gravity to make sure the snot goes out the T to the rear. Have you noticed any issues or am I overthinking this?

I realize there are some aesthetic reasons to have the catch can or filter inside the air cleaner compartment, and that certainly takes care of keeping the oil out of the combustion chamber...and that is a big reason to have an External Breather System.
However, the hot, oxygen depleted air is still going into the combustion chamber, compromising performance. For the full benefit on an EBS, the filter or catch-can should be outside of the air cleaner box, so that only fresh, oxygen rich air reaches the combustion chambers.
Of related interest. We have done hundreds of dyno pulls with dozens of different air cleaners, and one thing we've learned-
What the air does AFTER it get past the filter element, in terms of flow, can make very significant differences in the amount of power generated. Anything slowing down the flow of air (turbulence, etc.) will have a negative effect.
