Crankcase Breather Bottle?

Post by swagsherman »

Help? We're getting ready to install the carburetors in our once-a-basket-case 1979 CBX. Never tried to reclaim a 6-cyl before. Where the heck does the breather bottle attach to the bike and does it connect to (?) through (?) the airbox? Maybe I'm missing some parts? So far, all I can tell is it goes behind the engine above the swing arm but can't really tell how or where it mounts? Picture?

Yes that’s where it goes, but the rubber strap that holds it in place is unavailable. I got a car tire tube cut a strip as wide as the original clips and installed it. Worked pretty well.

Thanks - found out re unavailability; ordered a generic battery strap I think I can modify.
