That is really not a bad idea bot, might have to try that out and bolt my old airbox back to the bike.

Question about the crankcase breather: If the filter is there to keep debris out of the crankcase and oil in the crankcase is it bad when oil comes flowing out of the filter and all over the engine, belt, and rear tire? And what would cause an oil discharge of that nature? (crankcase breather was routed under the tank but above the head.)

Not sure.... Too much oil?...
The blow comes from the piston when it pulls down the cylinder... the air has to release somewhere... but the breather is on the top of the head so that it will release mostly just misty air...
There is a wad of heavy gauge steel wool under the head cover at the base of the vent tube... perhaps that is not in place?....

If you want,... you could try inserting a piece of one of those copper or steel kitchen scrubby sponges into the vent tube... to collect the oil mist and allow it to drop back into the case... but, not so much that it blocks the breathing... just enough to collect mist vapors...

Ludicrous Speed !... ... Huh

I am in the process of removing the engine for a rebuild so I guess I will soon find out.
