KX500 catch can... I want one...

(1/3) > >>

sandblaster:
Another member posted a problem he had on his CR500 in that his water pump seal went bad.
When it did, the coolant flowed into his crank case and when mixed with his trans oil cause foamy goop to come out the crank breather and onto his back tire.
Riding in the dirt? No worries...
Riding on the street? You could be dead.
So I plan on adding a catch can to my K5SM.
The catch can will be for the crank vent and the carb over flows.
I searched the site but didn't see any examples.
I started a thread with some pics on my forum here but nothing specific to the KX500:

So I'm looking for some examples you may have done or some idea's you may have.
Thanks!

Could be a nice idea.

Here is mine . I made it for my motard in about 20 min. after I found out the track required one.
PVC pipe and caps (1/16 hole in the top edge of one cap). sponge in the pipe and 2 fittings.

Thanks for the posts.
I'm kicking around some different ideas...
We'll see what happens...

sandblaster:
Anyone know where I can find one of these?
