bigstu, except for ringing around UK Yamaha dealers to find a breather, I have put two links below where you could find this part.

The first is in Holland and appears to have expensive postage,

This one is in the U.S., and you may have import tax etc

From what I can tell it's not actually a Yamaha part so going to the dealer isn't going to do any good. My best guess is that Mike from Mikes XS found a breather from something (could be anything from another bike, car or tractor) and sells it to the XS crowd.
You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

I got mine from here http://www.xs650.biz/p/28/2501/mo8-cg|txt=*breather* 13 Euros + shipping

Brian,
Before you pry out the old seal, look for the ring that retains the seal on your 850, it is very thin and hides just inside the casting.
