Yes, that would work. You still have the potential of PCV valve issues. But that is not a huge deal. You'll still get gas fumes for quite some time if the medium is soaked with liquid, as many are.
The canisterectomy, even 100% Ron’s way doesn’t involve the PCV valve. I don’t have any gas fumes anyway (yet) but I figured I’d do the mod anyway while the weather is keeping me from riding.
