You can plumb the gas tank vent hose to it also if you want , but I did not ,only the vent hose from crankcase (oil ) . My gas tank vent hose is to open air as well .,reason being i already used up all my trick looking transparent blue silicon fuel line doing stuff that mattered and didn't have enough left to run back to the catch can so i just ran a short piece to open air ,just clear of the engine and other hot bits like the exhaust.

My emissions stuff is definitely getting taken off, I have a VM22 carb , new intake and filter I need to put on .The carb also has an aftermarket cable idle adjuster on it and an aftermarket fuel mixture screw ( it's a lot longer and makes it much easier to get to ) . The Gen 2 body panels make getting to the carb and emissions stuff much more difficult than it was with the Gen 1 plastics, and so between that and doing other stuff to it ,I just haven't gotten to that yet, but I will be doing it soon. It also got delayed by my jet(s) kit from China taking forever to get here.
My GoPro is about ready to go , the last thing i just found out i needed was a "frame " housing, i had the waterproof housing but it blocks off where the mic plugs in ,so i had to order a frame mount housing so i can use the mic port ,soon as it gets here I'll start making videos on YouTube !

If I’m not mistaken, that’s the oil catch can. More close up pictures of all the mods and aftermarket parts would be appreciated!

Yeah that's the oil catch can , it's more preparation for a later Zs190 swap than needed now, but it is functional and does serve a purpose. Plus, hell I'm a sucker for trick looking race parts and i run a similar set up on my Mustang GT . I'll post some clearer pictures as soon as my frame housing for my GoPro gets here , I'll also try my cellphone and see if the resolution is any better using it .
I plan to make a Video for YouTube and cover all of what I have done so far, and also show the parts I still have that need to go on still .I'll also do some "install" videos kinda "before and after" I hope , I ain't got a clue about editing and generally speaking when I am putting stuff on, things don't always go as planned and take too long , or I use some rather colorful language that prolly don't need to be on YouTube so we will have to see how it goes lol!

What'd you do to the fender or is it aftermarket? Definitely different than mine! Looks good!

This is the Gen2 Vader ,it is a copy of the Gen 2 Grom in as far as body plastics.the front fender is stock altho I did add a $25 EBay Blue Anodized /Chrome fork brace ,the rear has a EBay from China Tail Tidy . The Tail Tidy came with LED blinkers but they wouldn't clear my 12 bar so I added flush mount turn signals to the side tail plastics.
Anyways thats why the fenders might look different from a Gen 1 body or stock design rear without a tail tidy .I pretty much had to install a tail tidy because that big "hangy downy" factory tail light /fender absolutely crushes into the ground when you wheelie and breaks off . If you don't plan to stunt then it's just a looks thing ,it does clean up the look of the back of the bike a good bit in my opinion but that's just my opinion~

aliexpress has some nice cheap tail lights with built in turn signals i bought one from there for $12 and they work great, very high quality
https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale...rom+tail+light then you could just get a plate mount of some type and throw it on there with lights i did it to mines and it looks really clean, i dont like the looks of having actual turn signals in the back |

Same here, bought a good bit of stuff. Also I bought a swing arm off eBay, a miscommunication, they sent wrong color and offered a discount on next purchase. Let me know if you're interested;
