Ok this is one of the very old fix'es...lots of people have done it .....I have an arlen ness big.sucker with a stock cv40...
       So after all these yrs/miles,,,Im finally think'in why let all that oil mist into the fuel flow/combustion chamber??
  I thought it would be good cause it would lube the inside of the chamber/valves,ect...But it probably just makes carbon deposits that can cause detination.,or other trouble.....SOoo 
                                                                                   Should I drill some holes into the bang-0 bolts then try to plug the end that opens to the carb thout?? and of coruse try to tap the bang-o bolts where I drilled them for some tubes I can run somewhere...someday..??

I plugged the breathers on my Ness BS 2 and tapped a 1/8" pipe hole and routed them to the ground on both my bikes...

I used small pipe plugs, tapped hole and red loctite, works fine.

I used Simpson strong tite epoxy on the hole where the bolt goes thru...no chance it makes it to the intake...
