Hi all-wanted to poll the group and see what inventive solutions others had come up with on something that has always puzzled me. After converting to a single Mikuni, I removed the old air filter assembly and the oil separator. I ran a piece of hose off the breather fitting on the oil tank and stuck the end in a catch bottle velcroed behind the tank. Does anyone out there have a more refined and ingenious solution? I tried to find this addressed in previous posts but couldn't find any mention. If it's been discussed before could anyone point out the topic for me? Many thanks.

I just run the final run of breather down and out to the right side behind my transmission.
Low enough to not spit anything on frame and to the side enough to not oil my tire. Nylon tie to bottom frame.
It is not losing any measurable amount of oil so catch bottle not needed.
However if wet sumping and breather is blowing oil then catch bottle makes sense.
