Tank now done and no leaks, though the bottom edges have a black plastic trim which looks suspiciously like a rust trap to me so filled the channel up with waxoyl before replacing them. I have cable tied up all the wiring separately from the control cables and with a combination of heatshrink and pe...

Rear Crankcase breather pipe

What is the correct route for the large diameter crankcase breather pipe which emerges to the rear of the engine.
