I can understand that. Hey, it's your machine so naturally you can do as you please.
They work great for riding.... and, for show, the original cover can be refitted in all of 15 minutes and six little screws.
Where the guide passes over the end of the rocker tunnel and there is just a small crescent, cut away the guide ( it isn't supported across that section anyway ) to make a bigger breathing area.
But fortunately my B twin doesn't have a breathing or oil leak problem with standard breather !!
Isn't it nice to have a tight machine and have no puddle or down-wind mess?
Likewise,oil tightness, thats always been the challenge for the last forty plus years, it was very good from 99 t0 02 after Colin at Conways did the rebuild then seizure doing long spells at 90 plus to catch ferry,another eight years before stripping it and about ten k miles at a pint per hundred! Still breather too heavily but who cares when it is so enjoyable,get round to it one day. Did several hundred miles at the Austrian and it was trailered there, I think the most used bike there apart from Stephane Membre's Egli that was never cold and didn't it go well, did about 70 km at the French rally on it.
