Breathers or vent tubes, go nowhere, ie to atmosphere.

They are just nipples without the vent pipe. So if I fit the vent pipes I'm in perfect health.  I should know I'm a doctor!!!!!!!!

Typical, it takes a Nurse to advise a Doctor with basic external tubing 😁😁😁. Make sure the tubes are long enough, they route between the swing arm and the back of the engine.
