The vent host is not at the bottom of the tank. It actually runs along the front of the tank together with the wiring harness that leads under your console.

This vent hose is there to allow for overflow and expansion. It runs under the bike and the other end of it comes out at the rear left side near the swingarm.


The quick disconnect fitting look great but at $45 I thought they were a bit steep. I may look into doing something similar with mine.
Just found them cheaper...just not as a set.

..and thanks on the info for the vent tube.
