You will blow the weakest seal in your motor if you run it with that setup. It needs to vent to the atmosphere or back into your throttle body. What you've done there is "closed" the system and crankcase pressure will build until a seal blows. Then you're screwed. What you need there is a T fitting where you have the two lines going into that filter,, then a line coming off the T fitting going to the filter, then a line coming off the filter and exiting under the bike. You don't need that filter though. All it will do is get clogged with oil and block your system, not as bad as it's plugged by the way you have it now in that pic though! There are a lot of guys putting filters on their breathers but it's pointless unless you clean it very often and the only point of that is to keep the very small amount of oil contained in that filter rather than going out the tube on to the road. Remember, the gasses flow out, not in so you don't need a filter.

But the "takeaway" here is that your the backing mods done now
Also for the OCD/**** people, that inconsistent hose clamp positioning would bug me

As others have said a tee fitting would be better

If you drill a few small holes in the top side of the plastic bubble then it will allow it to breathe. Just do it on the top side so it doesn't leak out all over your bike. You can also remove the filter inside the bubble as it will not do a thing but may block one side. Leave a small piece of sponge in there to absorb the oil.

You're probably right and actually you need something that comes apart easily to empty. So a T fitting with a catch can with some breather holes in it would be the right way to do it. Make sure a hose goes to the bottom of the catch can with a sponge in it. Or just call DK and order their catch can. I have two and they work great.
