[QUOTE="teunvandriel, post: 154494, member: 587"] Peter Volkers gave me this tip, Peter has ridden much more than 400000 miles with his Rapide, for a long time he used the Scottoiler but since a few years he uses a ceramic chain lubricant "ceramic synthetic chain spray" (see the website), great stuff according to Peter, no more messing around and a big improvement in the life of the chain. There are people who go for 100% original, they have their Vincent for decoration next to the fireplace, then of course such a tank breather pipe belongs on it. I myself prefer to ride it and already far back in the last century I removed that pipe and plugged the hole because of the grease mess. I once tried 2 breather pipes at the same time, the timed breather in combination with a V2 breather (a stainless elephant trunk) from Australia. The oil spurted out of the pipe of the timed breather so I quickly removed the pipe of the crankcase breather and screwed a plug in it. I have never tried such a series D air vent on my C Rapide, but I understand it requires a modification of the upper valve guide. [/QUOTE]
