 My old ZS K&N setup had the breather in the rear plate of the rear carb where it was less obvious. It barely fit at the 5:00 position. I did have a catch can rigged before the engine rebuild which was nothing more than a soup can cut in half with screens and breather media inserted.

With the engine rebuilt and the breather routed to the airbox, there is very little oil film in the velocity stacks.

Speaking of the airbox, I never liked the K&N setup which breathes hot air coming off of the radiator. I think a far better upgrade is to supply cold air to the airbox. I fabricated a fiberglass wing that mounts next to the radiator to deflect hot air away from the K&N cone filter mounted on the end of the air trunk. A hole is drilled next to the radiator to allow more cold air into the area.
