LOL!! Jerry Rig...I remember that. Who the hell is Jerry anyway!?
His air cleaner cover is off in the last pics and it covers that T fitting and a lot of the hose too.

I just did mine last night. I had a SE AC and took it off because it made no difference in performance but it did make a lot of noise. I put the stock air box back on using a K&N element and ran the breather hose inside and then out the bottom with a rubber grommet to protect the hose where it exits the air box. I didn't use a filter at the end but I'm rethinking that; not that it needs a filter because the umbrella valves are one way valves and won't allow air to be drawn in but rather to absorb any oil that comes out of the breather.

Don't know what pic your looking at but it is clearly visible with the football on.

True that. I don't know what I was thinking. It is clear on that pic. Heck, I can't even remember who Jerry is though!

I believe it was called jury rigged. There was a term called Jerry Built too. Either way both were crappie jobs done with parts on hand

all rigs aside, using a adhesive on the joints will not allow anything to be sucked in to the tb eliminating the need for tie downs.

Here's my 110 engine reroute. Used 103 parts and drilled hole in backplate to reroute elsewhere.

that'll work.....To me it's not a crap ,blow by issue, it's just a pure horsepower mod. crank case air is a higher temperature than outside air, warming the incoming air, cool air adds horsepower even if it's just a minor increment, it's still an increment in the right direction

A constructive critique: I am not a fan of a "T" between the 2 lines from the breathers. They will compete with each other. I would prefer a "Y" in place of the "T" If you ran the tubes inside out as you did and on the outside of the stand offs, then out the backing plate and both tubes extended to the ground, it would only have 2 tubes through and out, no risk of ingestion. The tube (tubes) extending below the bike should be angled to the rear to create a draft across the end of the tube. My 2 cents.
