Have the PVS 14/helmet with attached Luna Elir3 as a scanning illustrator, Dbal D2 (once replacement arrives) on my AR. I'm adding a breach to my equipment as a handheld scanner for now. My question is when funds allow, I want to add it to my 14. What would be the best mount. I have a Wilcox bayonet L4 G11 mount and would like to keep that for now.

If by add it to a PVS-14 you mean mount both to a bridge, I think you're out of luck with the bayonet mount. You'll likely have to swap to a dovetail.
There is a bayonet mount j-arm for the Breach if you wanted to swap the 14 for the Breach while scanning:

You can use a wilcox bridge with the Bayonet mount. You will need to find a wilcox MUM arm, I believe, to mount to the Breach.
After browsing ModArmory's web site, I found they have a multitude of systems including bayonet mounting with 1 pvs 14 and the other set up for breach. Thanks for all the imput guys .
Just a heads up: the Breach has a dovetail mount on it. It has been run on a G24 with a wilcox bridge - which I like very much. It isn't the cheapest setup, but is very stable. One issue for me running Breach + 14 was that they mount differently, with the Breach being slightly further from your eye than the 14. It takes some trial-n-error, but you can get a comfortable solution, mine was running the Breach as far back as all parts would allow - and running it slightly above the bottom position. It sat a few degrees above vertical, but I got the 2 images to mesh in a way that my brain could handle without headaches or temporary insanity.
As I said before, some brains do well processing the information from both images simultaneously, mine didn't - but not for lack of trying.

As I mentioned, I'll be using the breach handheld until funds become available for a bridge. I was only going to use it mounted once situated and scanning and not while walking. I've had no problems walking with just the single PVS 14.... but mabye my brain won't have a problem. .... shoot/write left, bat/catch/ golf/spin cast right. My brain may love it!
My primary issue is I don't have a dominant eye, or not heavily dominant, so I usually wear rifle lefty and pistol righty, can shoot both ambi. As such, my brain does well getting data from either eye as primary, but doesn't do well when one eye looks incredibly different from the other. I can make it work, but get headaches after about 30 minutes of use.
It's all about your brain and your eyes.
