Default 96 Fatboy info needed

Hello all I have a 96 Fatboy I just purchased a little bit ago and I'm just getting used to it and everything and I noticed there's a hose that I think goes into the bottom of the swing arm it's about a quarter inch rubber hose looks like a vacuum hose on mine it connects to the top of the swing arm on top of the bottom part of the swing arm and it goes upward and mine just flops over and it looks like it's been broke off or something can anybody tell me what that is
