Sounds like you do, if so, they're drain hoses for condensation/oil breather/so on, so forth. When I did the Freak, I yanked the hoses, and used the oil breather filter that came with the kit, and have had no probs. Michael D. Rodriguez

Haven't you figured out by now, that because our BA and Speedies are so oil-tight, they put those breather hoses there in order to drop JUST that little amount of oil on our garage floors, so you will know that you own a BRITISH BIKE! Geez! I can't believe you didn't know that!!! Cheers, Dwight Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
