Drain tube
Laverda Dave:
I remember my original 400/4 back in the late, late 70's had a thin piece of foam fitted between the two gauze plates in the base of the air filter housing? Is this an additional piece of foam to do the same job of keeping moisture out?

Laverda....I tried very hard to get it but it isn't out there anymore. The US forum advised me to plain cut out a a piece of scotch brite and so I did.

The peice of gauze in the panching plate, I think that's how you spell it, filters the oil from the engine blow by gases and recycles them through the carbs. I use the foam part of a kitchen sponge, always have done.
K2-K6:
I don't know if it's the same function, but some of the bikes a little later used a clear tube with a bung in the end of it.
At service interval you'd inspect for fluid and drain as appropriate, it looks like it's to stop fluid exiting in front of the rear wheel, or to stop it dripping and so look like a brit bike had been parked there if stationary ;D
