[b]Coolant Overflow Turkey baster trick[/b]

Ok, here are pictures.  On the left side of bike is my overflow.
Walmart in automotive section look for "The Mixmizer".  It was to be used as a syringe to mix different levels of oil/gas.
At Lowes I walked around the plumbing department and bought (I think) a 1/2" PVC cap and something with the 90 degree elbow that a hose will slip on.  Also bought clear hose, can't remember the diameter.
Route the new hose from the radiator overflow hole to the bottom of the "Mixmizer".  I cut the tip of the Miximizer until the hole is larger and the hose will slip on it.  On the top, I threaded the 90 elbow in the PVC cap and insert the cap into the Mixmizer.  The red in the pictures is the RTV sealant I used to seal the cap and hose together.  I think I did superglue also on top to be sure it stays.  All you're doing is creating a capture for the spew.  A hole in the top gives a vent.  When the engine cools down, it sucks back into the system.  Same thing done your car or truck.  This is what I invented and cost MAYBE $12.
