1 which looks like it has a small filter on it
I used to think it was a one way breather valve but I stripped it down to check and it is in fact nothing accept a reducer. One pipe is a breather and the other is an overflow. They both run from the tank and along the left side of the frame following the main wiring harness and then hang down around the front of the generator cover just behind the oil cooler pipe. It's a good idea to put a cable tie around the oil cooler pipe to feed them through and hold them in place, but don't pull the cable tie tight as to constrict the lines coming down or you will have problems. I trimmed mine a little shorter and a cut them at an angle to help prevent clogging with road grime. Note the coolant overflow form the expansion bottle also ends up there.

Hows it coming along Lee you must be almost completed. A bit like getting to the end of a jigsaw. :lol: We need pics :) it also gives us the opportunity to spot anything that don't look quite right or may be out of place and point them out to you. :wink:
