Re: The canister next to the front left battery
is any of the vapour recovery system really necessary?

Re: The canister next to the front left battery
Hi @dougieboy1 I just bought one of these for about £100 with the holder from the states - they are quite hard to get hold of. They appear to work with an overflow tank in the fender (I am missing this if you want to sell yours...)
If you do remove it you need to fit a one way valve to the line or (as in my case) you can risk over filling and it gets a bit whiffy not to mention the vapours are quite flammable (the misses wasn't happy thus my purchase).
The line would normally run out of the vapour filter back down the tunnel and onto the back of the air filter - it should help efficiency in theory and is more friendly to the environment.
(all of the above to be corrected by experts on here)
Would you mind posting a photo of how it is mounted? I am trying to figure our how mine is located?
This isn't a bad post either if you are interested...
