Default Hard plastic line under the tank ?
Hello,
While replacing the IAC valve on my 2007 Ultra Classic Electra Glide, I see the end of a small vacuum or vent hose hanging on the top left side of the front cylinder. I can't seem to find what or where it connects to ? I traced it back and it runs up and out of the wiring harness channel, down in front of the battery where it connects to what looks like a check valve maybe ? I was told it's a "vent to atmosphere tube" that leads no where...I have a hard time believing this. Please help me figure this out, Its 75 and sunny out...and I want to cruise

I am not positive but I think it is just a VENT line. A picture may be more helpful! That way we can see exactly what it is your referring to!

I have an 07 RK. It looks like a vent line to me.

Fuel tank vent/overflow line would be my guess.

I think this as well and if I am correct I belive one end hoks up under your console on your tank. I have a road glide and if its the same line I think it is thats where mine hooked up

Just a guess but can it be a fuel over flow?
