Hey Faster welcome back.
Once the suspension and bits/peices are complete the Mikuni carb swap and electrical upgrade are absolutely essential.
The Mikuni change makes a remarkable difference (use foam pod filters and remove the air box as well) the smoothness and power makes it a different bike.
Same with the electrical upgrade, easy starts from now on. First time I cranked the bike over after doing the electrical upgrade was a little dissapointed as it still turned over a bit slowly. Had left it in 1st gear and it nearly started. In neutral it spun over with vigor and provides easy starting.
For the oil crank case breather I just disconnected the last hose from the wee breather box near the battery and installed a small mesh filter which just screwed into the spigot the the hose fitted onto. The mesh filter was from a plumbing store, does the job.
Cheers,

Fraser.

You are always lucky if you can tell about an accident riding the bike .
Happy to see you back.
Ciao

Thanks Francesco I was lucky, indeed. The phone call to mrs.fasterdammit wasn't one I ever wanted to make ... but at least I could start it off with "first, I'm ok ... "

About the Monster ... they totaled her, but I bought her back (100USD!) so I decided to skip making her a track bike, and rebuild instead. I don't care that she'll be a 'salvage' - she'll still be on the road.

And it got me to start fixing Il Vecchio Blu ...

For the crankcase breather, retain the hose which exits from behind the vertical cylinder and install a K&N dry pleated filter in it; should fit right in front of the battery box. I don't have the part number at my fingertips but can get it if you need. Remove the other stuff. I've also found that although the twin oil coolers are somewhat of a pain when removing the bodywork, they really do a very good job at keeping the oil cool. Hope this helps.

I'm having new oil lines made up now. They can be made at any local auto parts store for 50 bucks. No need for hight $$ stainless lines that are always hidden :-0
