Default Street bob vent line placement
I recently took off the smog stuff off the front of my my bike. The vent line from tank went to the same tank as the smog stuff so my qw is do you just vent to atmosphere?

On the lower front part of the bike it had a box on it. It had 3 lines to it 1 line came from the throttle body after it went through a sensor 1came from the tank vent. The other one was to atmosphere.

You need to block off the thottle body nipple that the old vent line went to.
