#3 oil squeezed from the sponge

How often do you figure it will need to be emptied?

Mines quite small as you can see and what's on the paper towel is about a 1k of riding.
If it starts becoming increasingly more oil then I'd consider checking/replacing the  breather oil separator kit  inside the rocker cover.

Yours is much bigger the mine. Check it after a tank full and take notes then after 2/3 tanks /milage or however suits you then you'll know when the oil separation kit needs replacing.

Looks a nice setup 👌

I changed mine and made no difference. It’s a twin cam which seems not to have as big a problem with breather oil.

It’s too bad no one has figured out a way to direct the oil back to the motor. Any way to drill a hole and add a barbed fitting to the dipstick? Or maybe direct it down low to the oil drain plug?

I used a Universal Motorcycle Brake Fluid Reservoir Clutch Tank Oil Fluid Cup from ebay.
Mounted it upside down (fill cap at bottom) drilled some breather holes around the nipple and put some absorbent sponge inside. Works well it catches all moisture (photo #2) in the rubber part,  (photo #3) the sponge catches the oil vapours

This is pure genius, found a black one on eBay, 100% I'm doing this, I have had my bikes breathers vented to atmosphere for years but I never found a reservoir I liked the look of, most are car size.
