[QUOTE="Black Flash, post: 99819, member: 433"] My brother had this elephant breather as can be seen in the last picture on his B twin. He fitted the device from a start after a nut and bolt restoration before ever trying if it was necessary. The breather worked very well, but what a noise! On tick over the breather made more noise than the engine, also when trundling along it made a noise that could still be heard above all the engine noise. As good as it was, I would try every thing else possible before fitting this banister to my bike. Simply because of esthetic reasons as well as the noise. Maybe I am old fashioned, but there must be better ways to do it without spoiling the looks of the most beautiful motorcycle engine ever made. Bernd [/QUOTE]
