I'm liking those blacked out, its a good idea and nicely done.

What is your fairing? Can you post some other pics of it?

It's a Puig Vision.  I've only had it on about a week.  I'm not certain I like the look of a wind screen on the Interceptor but it is getting into the low 50's on the way into work so I thought I would try one.  I picked the Vision because I figured it would match the black shiny front fender but still have something clear that I could see through at night.  It takes about 5 minutes to take on and off with the two headlight bolts so I may run it when it's cool and take it off when it warms up.  I'm still messing with the angle to see if it actually blocks any wind.

I had to jettison a canister on one of my Suzukis because it became saturated.
I've only looked at the diagram in the shop manual for the RE. They all eventually saturate. I'm pretty sure that you don't need to remove the valve and the plumbing. In fact it appears that you can just send the vapor back for a second burn by just joining the tubes with a dowel without the smell filter. I've been eying that canister real-estate  to store/ mount an air pump for flats.

For anyone interested in removing their EVAP system here's a lively, informative thread on the subject.  I'm always looking for extraneous stuff to remove from my Interceptor, especially anything that could potentially cause an issue down the road.  On the flip side, I park my motorcycles in my apartment through winter (or when I'm working on them), so anything that limits gas fumes will likely remain.

On a side note, I miss zimmemr's consistently insightful contributions to the forum.

Not so sure that joining the tubes is a good idea!

If you did, then where does the air come from to to replace the fuel as it is taken from the tank?

You would end up having suction on both tubes connected to the tank, and no vent....could collapse the tank?

The charcoal canister actually has three nipples....one is the tank vent, one goes to the purge valve and then on to the throttle bodies...
But it also has an open air vent......

I'm not perfectly sure either if that 3rd nipple on the canister is the only source of air intake or even if it might just be a liquid overflow.
I suspect the the air intake is either down at the purge valve area and/or at the cap / or both. There is a way. Check it out. Thanks

Replaced front brake lever, powder-coated and refitted rear brake lever, polished clutch cover. Went for a ride.

How about a close up of that rear brake lever?

Not sure about making them any weaker - doesn't take much to bend it like Beckham.

Yours is quite attractive as well!

Thats why I have the folding toe piece to minimise the risk of that. Also means if you do bend it in a spill it's easy to bend back on the side of the road. It's plenty strong enough for use though.
