Does anyone have a breather? If so describe it, Is it just from the rear exhaust or did you put breathers for the air box too? Has it helped much? What about any problems with it? I got some info about the one highlifter's Scott made, but I also found out that he doesnt like to give the info on how to build it because the slightest leak will cause lots of engine damage. So let me knwo about your breathers.

I seen one on a 450s today. All I could see was a pipe coming up threw the front rack with a 90 on it, facing towards the rider so water wouldn't get in.

 

Matt,
I've seen a bunch of them on Hondas... most of them are constructed of PVC pipe then wrapped in camoflauge or black tape. From what i've seen on Hondas, it usually comes out the left side and runs along the bodywork and turns up along where the front fender starts... they usually go well abve the handlebars and at the end will have a 90 degree elbow turning back toward the rider..
As for exhaust snorkels... I've done several of those. Just weld (or have it done at a muffler shop)a piece of 1 1/2 inch exhaust pipe onto your muffler exit. Just have it bent 90 degrees up, as far as you want it to stick up, then 90 degrees back to aim the exhaust gases and noise away form you. When I get some more film for my camera, I'll try and get a few pictures of some that i've seen and done...
They DO help, especially if you ever cross deep water.. Anything ever happens and your engine dies in 4 foot of water, you'll appreciate intake and exhaust snorkels..
