Well my collection bulb lasted a couple of months, but it got smashed one time while putting the bike on the stand, so I took the whole thing off.

Mine went MIA after a few weeks. It's kind've a harsh environment underneath the bike - you'd think they'd know better than to put that thing there. I'm guess it is just a half-hearted attempt to meet some gobment regulation requiring mfgs to keep a few drops of oil off the ground. So instead we have debris falling off littering up the place. Two steps forward, one step back.

Yea probably the same people that are on top of the Global Warming Study.

Just so the oceans stop rising just as the Atlantic meets my property line. I've always wanted to live on the beach, and now I might not even have to move to do so

I went ahead and did the double snorkel mod this weekend...
I also added some extra openings in the bigger snorkel to hopefully improve it a little more.

I noticed on the stock filter element when I removed it that the dirt was concentrated on a small area at the top of the dome, right where the air exited the stock snorkel. Makes sense - the air follows the path of least resistance and so the sides of the filter get used less. So I'm thinking if I make exit holes at various locations, the air will flow into different areas of the filter element.
