I'm lousy at judging tubing diameters, also, I think copper might work harden and crack sometime down the road. I had to make some pretty abrupt turns in making that breather tube.
However, Get bold, try your idea, and post the results :D (Only if successful, feel free to keep failures to yourself :D )

"Failure" is success in disguise. You should learn from it, and know not to do that again....
Babe Ruth had a total of 1330 strikeouts in his career. Ruth actually held a record for the number of times he had struck out, a record that would remain unbroken for 30 years. But nobody remember that stat....

I'm back. Needed oil change so did the flush and put 2 hoses in the breather and ran them back to oil the chain as Frankenstein as did. After a couple of 20 mile runs all is good. No oil coming yet but not to worry the sprocket seal takes care of the chain. Time will tell. Thanks to all for your input.
