what to use for a catch can?


The race regulations out here in So Cal require a catch can for all vented hoses that is transparent and has a minimum size of 1 oz. I have tried several clear plastic bottles that I've found lying around the house and the gas has eaten right through them. Any ideas of something that might work?

I would recommend using some pvc piping with 2 endings with a hole drilled in one end. I know some people use pvc for boost bottles so you shouldn't have any kind of issues with gas eating through it. Hope this helps.

One of my YSR's has one of them small avion water bottles and it seems to be holding up My race only YSR has some type of travel shampo/conditioner bottle (was already equipped with it) and I've had the bike a couple years now and no problems.

Good Luck

I use the small gatorade bottles, they're pretty thick and I haven't had any problems.

I bought a couple of those little soap/shampoo bottle at Target (in the travel needs isle) for my Derbi and it's working great. I'd get a pic, but my Derbi is at the shop.

This Redbull can passed tech inspection.
