I moved the strap up on my exhaust today. I did have to add some rubber bushings to keep it away from my tire, though. All is good there.

Now for that canister thing. I took off the gas tank so that I could see the routing of all of the lines. Here's how it all goes;

The gas tank vent (under the tank) goes to a check valve. This can be seen in my third photo, just right of the canister.

A hose goes from the check valve to the canister.

Two hoses come out of the canister. One is small the other large.

The large one goes to a "T". One side of the "T" goes to the air box, the other to the SAI. Matt's and forchetto's large SAI hose went to the airbox.

The small hose also goes to a "T". One side of the "T" goes to the carb, the other to the SAI. Matt and forchetto's small SAI hose went to the carb.

I'm thinking that since my bike is a newer model (bought a few months ago) it might have more stuff added to comply with tougher standards. Matt thought that maybe it's because of the state I'm in. It's Michigan and I've never know this state to have very high standards when it comes to anything automotive. We don't even have inspections so there is a lot of junk out on our roads.

Before I think about taking all of this off, I would like to know how the gas tank vent is hooked up on your bikes. Does it go to a check valve? I remember Volksjagger having trouble with his bike and said it had something to do with a vacuum lock at the gas tank. I'm guessing it had to do with vent.
