This is just great. We got a breather with a useless strainer and an oil pickup with nothing. Maybe the strainer on the breather was to keep crap from being sucked in since they pant like a dog in heat. Before the inline check they would suck and blow, now they just blow. With the cases being modded with the oil pickup now toward the rear, there is still nothing keeping whatever that could get in the crankcase (or are assuming this is a sterile environment) from being suck into the oil pickup circuit. God help us for I feel we with 200000 series units are living on borrowed time. More and more I believe the Combat got a bad rap.
This is what I propose and where I need some advice.
Were the castings of the 200000 series cases left with the boss area of the before and after incorporated sump strainer and if we are willing to go to the lengths that we already have, why not go a little further and re-incorporate the sump strainer? A little milling, a little drilling, a little tapping ,,,, ta da.
Anyone got a blown donor, I will pay the shipping, do all the work, and report any successes or failures.
If the castings were too radically changed…….then ……..never mind.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my 72. It’s the hobby of a life time. Had it up to 95mph last night.
The bike is 38, I’m 56,….Christ, what a rush.
