[QUOTE="chankly bore, post: 81169, member: 317"] Probably correct as a counsel of perfection, but it worked fine for 20 years on my Guzzi. Eventual failure was only due to the cheap buggers using non-stainless ball and spring. The thing I've got against reed valves and baffle tubes is merely a reaction to egregious extrusions. On the Comet on Steroids I made a non-standard banjo from the standard outlet point, then a car in-line PCV valve, 20mm i.d. clear plastic tube upwards and rearwards to a catch tank mounted on the F106 casting. The catch tank is vented at the top and has a drain tap and tube onto the chain, which I open and close as the whimsy takes me. Even if the ball sticks open the large diameter upward pipe is better than the series "D" set-up. [/QUOTE]
