What does this do?? Tank top plate.
I'm wondering about the small tube that hooks upward and also comes out under the speedo.
I'm guessing it is a vent but since I'm piecing together this tank setup for my 1200n I'm definitely clueless about what everything does just yet. So my question is what is it, what does it do, and what do I need to connect it to.
I wanna say it connects from the top plate to the filler hole bung.[sm=confused06.gif] I see two hole in the bung this could possibly route to but I'll just ask you guys.
I got plenty of questions so unfortunately you guys will be hearing from me again

I'm sure of the plate and the plug but I was wondering how this little tube vents the tank??? It seems to just hook up to the top of the tank not connect to anything. Do I have to run a tube off it to something else or does it just hang out with its **** out as is.

There is a rubber tube (similar to fuel line hose) that connects to the opening on top of the plate, and is routed out the front of the console.
The part of the tube inside the tank doesn't connect to anything.

Now I got to wait for the fat bob plate to come in, I'm assuming it's the same as this one but with a different shape, and then figure out how to mount a street bob dash to it.

You can put a Street Bob console on if you want but I personally think the Fat Bob console is better looking. It also would be less work. That would move the ignition switch from the neck to the console. On the Dynas, once the switch gets worn, the key will fall out if the switch is turned off and the key is left in. JMHO. Good luck. BTW, you will need a hose on that vent unless your fond of gas on your unmentionables.
