How’s the boredom for everyone?

Well. my fabrication skills are somewhat lacking so I needed something off the shelf to do this crankcase breather relocation and so as I couldn't as I had originally planned to use the old hoses that I had removed, but could not find them, I purchased some silicone hose. My one big mistake was underestimating just how soft and supple this hose is. Which in some ways was good since I had to route the hose through some tight spaces and curves but on the other hand because it was so soft it would colapse if bent incorrectly. The prebent hoses would have been ideal here since I originally planned to take the breather hose forward towards the airbox as per the original design but not have it vent into the airbox. That idea went out the window when I found the hose could not bend into the contorted shape required without collapsing. So rearward it was then and so plan B was to have it exit somewhere under the mudguard near to the reg rec but I had no way of fixing it so that it did not flap about and so the next location identified was near the rear underseat exhaust bracket so it could be hidden behind that. That didn't work out quite as I had planned either since it would be fretting against it.

I managed to get it somewhere close to where i wanted where the brackets would work and it was reasonably out of sight from most angles. Anyway I think I did the best I could, it's not ideal and if the original hoses turn up I may have to re-work it but for now it's good enough I think.
