I've just decided to stick the Renegade airkit back onto my K3 and see if I can come up with a better way of sorting out the 2 crankcase breather hoses. As it stands they either drip filth onto the ground or onto the framework, or they result in a constant smell of petrol while the engine is running and the bike is stationary.

Has anyone come up with any clever way of sorting these out? I'm tempted to see if I can make up some sort of semi-sealed container with a breather valve so that air can get out, but not in (stop moisture entering the crankcase) and pack it full of dacron or somesuch to soak up and oil residue that gets out. Does this sound reasonable? Anyone got any better ideas?
