I do alot of high speed roadwork on my eldo. 80 mph for long periods of time, and after a long hard ride there is quite a lot of oil residue on the bottom of the trans and lower frame where the breather tube is. I am running a cali 2 (1000cc) motor with a bub wedge oil pan. I run 3.25 qts of 20/50 and have a new breather box. I tried to fit a Agostini breather box on it but with the duel coils, large distributor, & later carbs, there was no clearance to mount it. I know some of the newer bikes use the frame as a breather, but I really dont want to drill holes in my frame. I have not checked the engine compression, but I do not think I am getting blow by in the crank case. I dont think I am losing alot of oil, it is just a mess Does anyone have any ideas ?
