the hoses have probably dropped down the back, between the rear tank mount and the rear cylinder.
there are a few pics here of where they go.
tbh if they are just the breathers, the bike will run fine without them, assuming you have fitted the vacuum hose to the correct outlet on the (16L) fuel tap?

pics on here somewhere.....
You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

As you're standing looking down above the bike, they're probably hiding in the frame castings on the LH side.
they sort of drop into the rear/inside of the castings.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Down from tank across to LH side frame casting, then follows engine LH side and drop to exit beneath LH rad; they should exit as a clump with a couple of other pipes.
