Carb install help -WITH PICS-

Can somebody tell me where these two hoses connect? It's been a loooong time since I took it apart and can't remember.

Those 2 hoses are the vent lines for the carbs, one should connect to carb 2 the other to 3.  They are usually on a little plastic clip holding them together and drop down in front of the air box to one side.  They are not connected to anything but they need to be clear to let the carbs vent properly.

Absolutely nothing..

They are there for run off..
Cafe Racing is mainly a matter of taste. It is an atavistic mentality, a peculiar mix of low style, high speed, pure dumbness, and overweening commitment to the Cafe Life and all its dangerous pleasures. I am a Cafe Racer myself, on some days - and it is one of my finest addictions. ~H. S. Thompson~
