I like how you used a license plate in place of the plastic deflector  [thumbsup]. But how in the world did your DMV let you keep your plates?

I do not want to get rid of my crankcase breather is the problem even though I want to mount my regulator under the seat.

Anyone know if with this aftermarket crankcase breather that I will still fit even with the regulator relocated under the seat with it?

That's just the valve - you still need to either plumb it up to your existing reservoir behind the shock, or plumb it up directly to the airbox, or put a filter on top of it.

There's no need to change the valve to remove the reservoir - just put a filter on top of the existing one, or else plumb the existing one up straight to the airbox.

Plumbing straight to the airbox might put enough oil mist in the airbox to drip out of the airbox drain.

Not a problem per se, but you might go nuts looking for the new oil leak. ;)

Thanks Suzy  [thumbsup]. The less I need the more money I don't have to spend haha.

So I think I'm just going to drill the plastic and mount the regulator on an aluminum plate and then to the plastic. Can someone recommend me the best type of screw/nut combo that will can handle being torqued semi tight and won't get loose. I plan on using loctite but just want piece of mind.

Just use a nylock nut (self locking with nylon insert) without the loctite on the bolt of your choice with washers under the bolt head and the nut.  It'll stay where you put it on the bolt even if the whole assembly spins.

Enter "nylock" in the McMaster-Carr search box.

I'm pretty incompetent. I'm assuming the 3 YELLOW ones are all for the stator? Did you guys cut it from the connector or after the connector? I don't think it's long enough for it to reach the regulator if I cut before the connector even though I want more reliability...

Pretty timely thread.  I was just dinking around on the M900 and had been considering a spare.  I'd installed an Electrex years ago and may also go that route as I've had no issues to date with it.
