It's just an overflow. I wouldn't expect it to attach to anything.

I don't know if it's original but on my bike 1 section runs from the tank to a join just next to the side panel where another section takes it down by the swingarm along with the carb overflows?
The join is handy when you take the tank off.

hi

so mine currently ends round by the plenum chamber ( 1 tube with clip on end )

why use 2 sections though ?

I suppose its so you don't have to remove the whole thing if you want to take the tank off.
