From my research, it appears that the vent pipe from the oil tank is best fed into a small bottle, and not the air cleaner (just from a cleanliness perspective), and that the tube to the carbs is not required and can be replaced by a single tube between the carbs.
Could anyone clarify this?
Thanks

And make sure you don't top up the tank before you've run the engine for a few minutes to clear the crankcases.
On my 1974 Mk 1 828 I took the breather direct from the oil tank to the back of the bike. There was never even a hint of oil leaving it.

I keep my oil tank vent connected to the air filter black box so the oil keeps the foam filter moist, excessive oil on the oil filter only a problem if you follow the marks on the filler cap, only ever top up to the L. The paper filter may be different if you have gone ham can.
