Default Where does this go?

Pulled apart the cowl to clean up and do other maintenance. Can’t figure out where this sucker goes though?

Since you were near the cowl I am guessing it's part #20?

Not part 20. Very sure that’s installed

also had the headlights out for a polish. So could be around there as well.

Here are the catalogues for the headlights. I don't see anything with a 90-degree angle on these diagrams...

Only thing I found, looking remotely close, was a breather pipe near headlight assembly. Even that just doesn't look close enough.

I had that exact part, it goes to the battery! It must have been replaced by the clear one on your battery but I’m almost certain that’s what it is.

The clear battery tube I have runs all the way to the drain hole. Which makes total sense. Otherwise I'm imagining that there's be a bunch of corrosion from the outgassing.

perhaps other battery models have the breather nipple that fits this tube? because it doesn't fit my current battery
