Vac line on carb and airbox ?

Quick questions. I got a stock airbox finally and was installing it and realized that there's 2 lines on the carbs that aren't going anywhere or capped. I've got the vac lines on each carb blocked, but where do the 2 inbetween 1+2 and 3+4 go?!

Pic shows what I'm talking about. Where does this line go? This is probably what's causing some issues.
Second question... How in the HELL do you install the stock airbox on these bad boys? Literally worked on it for an hour today and threw in the towel. I took out the tank, carbs, and the seat and pushed all the wires and harnesses back. Right now I've got the carbs wedged between the airbox and motor, but the little rubber pods on the airbox have half popped inside the box.. HUGE pain in the ass. Any tips?
I appreciate all the help as always!

Yes, those are vent hoses. They should be routed down between the engine and the frame/swingarm since you have the stock airbox installed. If you had pods, they should be left without hoses. (Just an FYI.)kzz1king wrote: Vents I believe.

I'll try the airbox again tonight. The roll-over idea is a good one. New ones would be a ton better, but we'll see how these work out.

Even w pod filters, I would install vent tubing to keep water & road grit from getting into the carburetors.david-b wrote: I thought those had to be left alone for a reason but couldn't remember and searching, couldn't find why they were still open. I had pods, which explains why they were just there.

As for the airbox, new ducts may be available from the dealer or Z1Enterprises.com. Soft pliable rubber makes installation much easier.
