Default Crank breather catch can

Anyone know of a decent, small, vented, catch can you can use to vent the crank vent into rather than pumping hot oil goo back into the carb/throttle body?

Who makes it & who sells it?

I put a filter on that should've vented the oil to atmosphere. That didn't work too well. That dripped instead of the air cleaner. I cured it by going to the Ness Big Sucker air box. Haven't had a drop since.

That's kinda what I was thinking about, but $100 is a bit pricey.

THere's also this one, I found (http://www.kdfab.com/photogallery/ph...0can%20004.jpg) but it's even a bit more. Very nice though.

On my old RG, I made one using a universal (clear glass) fuel filter with the screen removed as the catch can/resovuir and exhausted it to a little K&N filter, but I was hoping for something a little cleaner this time. My objective is to avoid feeding hot oilly mucous back into the intake.
