You can plumb the gas tank vent hose to it also if you want , but I did not ,only the vent hose from crankcase (oil ) . My gas tank vent hose is to open air as well .,reason being i already used up all my trick looking transparent blue silicon fuel line doing stuff that mattered and didn't have enough left to run back to the catch can so i just ran a short piece to open air ,just clear of the engine and other hot bits like the exhaust.

My emissions stuff is definitely getting taken off, I have a VM22 carb , new intake and filter I need to put on .The carb also has an aftermarket cable idle adjuster on it and an aftermarket fuel mixture screw ( it's a lot longer and makes it much easier to get to ) . The Gen 2 body panels make getting to the carb and emissions stuff much more difficult than it was with the Gen 1 plastics, and so between that and doing other stuff to it ,I just haven't gotten to that yet, but I will be doing it soon. It also got delayed by my jet(s) kit from China taking forever to get here.
My GoPro is about ready to go , the last thing i just found out i needed was a "frame " housing, i had the waterproof housing but it blocks off where the mic plugs in ,so i had to order a frame mount housing so i can use the mic port ,soon as it gets here I'll start making videos on YouTube !

Yeah that's the oil catch can , it's more preparation for a later Zs190 swap than needed now, but it is functional and does serve a purpose. Plus, hell I'm a sucker for trick looking race parts and i run a similar set up on my Mustang GT . I'll post some clearer pictures as soon as my frame housing for my GoPro gets here , I'll also try my cellphone and see if the resolution is any better using it .
I plan to make a Video for YouTube and cover all of what I have done so far, and also show the parts I still have that need to go on still .I'll also do some "install" videos kinda "before and after" I hope , I ain't got a clue about editing and generally speaking when I am putting stuff on, things don't always go as planned and take too long , or I use some rather colorful language that prolly don't need to be on YouTube so we will have to see how it goes lol!

This is the Gen2 Vader ,it is a copy of the Gen 2 Grom in as far as body plastics.the front fender is stock altho I did add a $25 EBay Blue Anodized /Chrome fork brace ,the rear has a EBay from China Tail Tidy . The Tail Tidy came with LED blinkers but they wouldn't clear my 12 bar so I added flush mount turn signals to the side tail plastics.
Anyways thats why the fenders might look different from a Gen 1 body or stock design rear without a tail tidy .I pretty much had to install a tail tidy because that big "hangy downy" factory tail light /fender absolutely crushes into the ground when you wheelie and breaks off . If you don't plan to stunt then it's just a looks thing ,it does clean up the look of the back of the bike a good bit in my opinion but that's just my opinion~

aliexpress has some nice cheap tail lights with built in turn signals i bought one from there for $12 and they work great, very high quality
https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale...rom+tail+light then you could just get a plate mount of some type and throw it on there with lights i did it to mines and it looks really clean, i dont like the looks of having actual turn signals in the back |

Same here, bought a good bit of stuff. Also I bought a swing arm off eBay, a miscommunication, they sent wrong color and offered a discount on next purchase. Let me know if you're interested;
