Stop that embarrassing drip!

Looks tacky but it works...I just realized it's been probably 2-3 years since I made up an oil baffle for my rear crankcase breather, and have not seen a drip of oil from there since I installed it. I know, it looks awful, but something of a prototype that worked so well I forgot it was even there. I cut up an aluminum beverage can and installed it in an old breather I had, using 5 minute epoxy. Still use the fiber filter that goes in the canister. The baffle lets oil accumulate and run back into the crankcase instead of dripping.

That's excellent high-tech work Norm!
