Long enough so you can access it without dismantling half-the bike. I just got mine tucked underneath the tank but can get them out to balance the carbs without having to undo or move the tank.
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

I've got my vacuum hose from the front cylinder tucked away in front of the choke pull/push knob, probably around an inch or two further towards the front of the bike. You can then access both take off points on the same (lefthand) side of the bike, which makes it easier to access when you balance the carbs.

I ran mine conveniently behind the battery. Fitted brass adapters on the end, remove the rubber end caps off the adapters and attach my carbtune hoses straight on.

Used vacuum nitrile hose and adapters from Carbune.
