Anyone doing the breather bypass on your M8?

I tried several things, as past posts will show but where I'm at now is the last thing I put together. Two hoses routed straight off the breather bolts, with no fittings. They exit the back of the AC backing plate, down between the jugs to the frame, then along it to the rear. I've never seen a spot on the ground and my air cleaner stays clean with nothing going into the intake. Works like a charm. But then these bikes do not all breath the same way, or at least they don't spit out the same amount or oil/water mixture. I leave my oil halfway down between full and add and since doing that I only vent water vapor. Before I ditched the catch can I was able to verify that.
I was not trying to **** you off, sir. I actually said "If i understand what you posted", and you were saying that you put the hoses above the AC, and were trying to RECYCLE oil ? In doing so, I believe you might actually fill the hoses that go above the vents with liquid, inhibiting them from being able to vent. I did not want you to have a high crankcase pressure issue, because that is bad
30 minutes max. No doubt the catch can is a waste. Thanks for coming back to this thread.
NorthWestern obviously you were trying to help. Had you explained your thoughts fully I would have understood.
Thanks and sorry.
There are so many Nit Picking A-holes on this forum who just bust peoples ***** over anything for some BS pleasure. That it is hard to know what a response truly means.
I got my plan.
Thanks all.

First off thanks iHodor for coming back, this is an old long thread. I read every post. I got the impression not only from this thread but others that going up with the hoses was OK. No biggie, I will put a bolt in the hole I drilled and just change the angle down and drill a hole. People who run the hoses up have mentioned the outflow pressure has no problem moving any fluids etc. But to be safe I will alter the setup and send everything down.

What I don't understand in that doc Harley video is where the Breather tubes are positioned. Once you put the air filter on it will pinch the breather tubes and that is not good. IMO, a poor design on that setup.

I figure I will need bolts about 2.25". Anybody know whether they are available?

or how old that video is..he eats, sleeps and breathes Harleys for a living for a very long time..and acts totally surprised that he just noticed this 'recent discovery' of rerouting breathers..just odd..oh well, we now return you all to your normally scheduled fussing and fretting over much ado about nothing.... I will say these posts are somewhat entertaining when bored...
