Default Where does this hose go?


So I somehow talked myself into another bike haha wasnt hard. It's a 07 FXSTD. When I got the bike it has the silly hypercharger on it. I went out and bought just the stage 1 HD filter and cover. After removing the charger and putting in the new one there is a hose here that I dont know where it goes to? Am I missing something? I kind of winged it removing the old one and putting this one on. Must have messed something up.

Hyper charger butterflies operate off of vacuum. With that hose open ended and the bike running can you feel suction especially when blipping the throttle? If so I would say it ran the butterflies on the charger. Either plug it or put a cap on the other end. Put a vacuum gauge on it and that will tell as well.
