Default Blow by oil mess tip

I know alot of guys have rerouted the crankcase breather and it can get messy if your getting a little blow by. I got tired of cleaning up the mess and have found a catch bottle from a honda 400ex is just the ticket. put it inline between the crank case and the filter. Mines zip tied up front on the frame with a short piece of hose connected to it for the filter. No more mess. Thought I would pass it on.

A 5-6ft hose routed up and over the radiator, around the oil tank and bock down between the a-arms does the trick as well...

I'll try to post a pic, Never can get any of them to post always to big. Someone know how to make them smaller?

I run the hose from the case under the radiator and onto the frame upright nearest the shock. I mounted the catch bottle there and then a short piece of hose to the filter. I used to run it like DSengineer said but I was still getting alot of oil making it out, Especially on the juice. Now it runs back to the motor instead of all over the frame.
