Where can I find a trick looking catch can? I found a few plastic ones, but I'm looking for one like ProCircuit runs. I need it for my OffRoad race bike. Any leads? thanks!

My bud just made his own with a plastic bottle and piece of hose. He mounted it in his airbox and works perfectly. Since it's mounted in his airbox it doesn't matter what it looks like. I saw an article where they were mounting them behind the radiator but I would think that would restrict airflow a little but what do I know.

The coolant tank does not have to be mounted directly to the radiator but 99.9% mount it that way with no ill effects. The pictures below are all mounted in other locations.

Our tank is round so there is very little contact or air blockage as air flows right past. I did not save the picture but one of the factory teams mounted their square tank directly on the radiator. I think it was on Stewarts perfect season KXF.

If you just need an overflow catch tank, Void's post works just fine. If you need a return system, Lumpy's look great also or the one in MXA caught my eye.

We made our own from a plastic bottle, but sounds like you want a metal one?

Yes I was really liking the ones that pro circuit runs but they seem to be one-off deals? I was also looking at the one that lumpy posted. Prob just end up ordering one of those.

Lumpy was doing discounts for board memebers on his hose kits too. I would go with his.

I'm still out with a back injury, but I plan on doing the Baja1000 in November. It's a loop again this year which makes it easier for logistics and a lot cheaper $$.. Thats the plan anyways. I wanted to do Vegas to Reno again this year but thats not going to end up working out.

With the mud at LL one morning I heard there were many bikes that DNFed with toasted motors......our coolant tank was a benefit for many riders on 85's to 450's.......and made several visits to the podium during the week.
