   you could plug it back into the induction kit
   
   or make a catch tank

   run the pipe into a coke bottle or something, acts like a catch tank and will do for a few days

   when you use a breather bike would it not just fill with oil then?
   
   and it used to connect to the side of the air box, but it has nothing to clip on to now

   the breather filters on their own are shite, it'll just spray oil over your engine bay. get a catch tank, search on ebay you can get them for around £35

    my breather pipe spits oil out, dunno why. apparently its for emissions and stuff, so atm mines facing away from air filter, not making that covered in oil and shit.

    A proper branded induction kit should have a small L pipe to connect the oil breather pipe from the rocker cover into the pipework from the cone to the throttle body, if not then it should have supplied you with a small breather ie a mini cone filter to vent the crank case gases.
    
    Do not be tempted to plug the pipe from the rocker cover as this will cause the oil in your engine to get sludgy and also the engine will not run as well.
    
    What brand was the air filter and have you got a picture?
