Is there oil coming out of the breather? If yes, you need a catch can, If not, you don't

hi, yes oil does come out of the breather.  I would like to put a catch can on it , so breather hose goes into the catch can but I don’t  know where the the output hose from the catch can would go since there no air box to go into

do i need a catch can if im running 36 mm flatslides with no airbox,   i had the rocker cover breather  tube siting just above the drive chain but it was driping too much oil,  is it ok just feed into a plastic bottle,?  or if a catch can were do you put tge output tube to

36mm flatslides.  do they need a catch can? 

i had the top breather hose running to a filter but it soon cloged up then had it above the chain but was getting oil driping,  i have it runing into a plastic bottle now with a filter on top,  but thinking maby a catch can would be better?  but do you have the outlet running to the carbs?  and how?

i have brand new rs36 flatslides on my 87 gsxr1100 , surging at low revs - is that a sign of being too lean or too rich

thanks,  yer its a brand new wiring loom,  ive checked all that and cleaned, cleaned starter switch, no clutch witch,  batterys reasonably new gel type 230cc , im thinking all i can put it down to is the starter

yer gave the original a good clean up, brushes are like a couple mils above replacement,   seemed better for awhile but still get the times where it acts as a flat battery but batterys good and have changed solonieod and switch block.  im guessing starters like 37 years old,  still searching for a replacement

thats intresting thanks

how big a job was it puting gsxr1000 forks on the slabside? 

did anything have to be machined for them to  fit

does anyone know if a later model gsxr1100 water cooled starter could fit a oil cooled slabside by changing the end mounting caps over?  my old 1100 seems a bit slow to crank and sometimes you woukd think the batterys dead but then itll pick up again,  i know they look the same from  except the mounting end but ive only seen one in photos

[slabside]

Ah cool,  so no problem fitting it?  i think theres only approx 10mm size difference

anyone know if a gsxr1000 steering damper will fit an 87 1100 slabside
