Good stuff I was not trying to poohah your idea just highlighting a possible problem, hope it works OK let us know as I may just do the same, .... anything is better than having to clean the back of engine

No poohahige taken ! Always value your input Hans
 
Good idea. A little off the subject, but how many miles do you have on your '05. What problems have you had?
 
Here's what I just installed on my turbo Rocket. Not sure how well it will work yet but I'm guessing quite well. The crank case vent was routed into the turbo's intake filter but at times too much oil was burping out.

53,000 miles. Replaced the primary TPS once. Had a little of the paint can rattle until I installed the cam chain tensioner spacer. Other than that it's all been good !
 
Forced air will suck through breather, a still air catch can preferably with gauze/mesh to separate the mist from the air flow is a good idea.
RS keep an eye on plugs in cly # 2, luckily there are 2 of them so fouling is less likely,
but fueling will change as you are feeding warm less dense air in, so will run richer.
 
Your idea will work well but it may pull too much vapor from the crankcase and increase oil consumption indirectly. But, you can put a restrictor in the line to reduce flow if needed. Or you can put the small filter on the end of the hose and place the filter under the bike next to the starter. Another option if you do not use the O2 sensor is to vent it into the exhaust system at the O2 bung with a check valve (a power brake booster check valve works and fits well) in line to prevent back flow. This method introduces no oil into the cylinder(s). Oil dramatically reduces octane rating and can lead to pinging so be carefull if your engine has very much blow-by. The spark plug ceramic around the electrode will change color to a grayish tint if much oil is present at which point the fuel mix is contaminated sufficiently to drop octane by several points.

I have vented my Rocket into the exhaust as my O2 sensor is history and I too hated the oil film which collected much dust..
