Green = Float bowl vents, these do not connect to anything, they are just tucked between the carbs and airbox.
Red = Fuel pipe connects to the fuel tap/petcock.
Where are you located?

The two thinner pipes are just float bowl vents, they do not connect to anything.

Re: Help on where to connect this tube
That looks like your fuel pipe that goes to you fuel tap, if you connect it to your fuel tap and fuel pours on your floor have you checked the clamps are tight and the pipe hasn't got splits/perished?

Re: fuel leak at crankcase drain hose
If you see fuel dripping again then try tapping your float bowls with a screwdriver handle one at a time to see if it is a sticking float. You may be able to work out which carb it could be (if it is a sticking float) by seeing if a quick tap stops the drip. Its always a good idea to switch the fuel...

Try removing your side cover and air filter and check for fuel inside your air box.

Re: fuel leak at crankcase drain hose
I have a 1981 CB650 it has just started to leak gas from the crankcase breather systems drain hose when parked after a ride after it has cooled down. Any body have any ideas? If I understand your post correctly it sounds like one or more of your carbs could be flooding, have you got CV or PD slide ...

Re: 81 cb650c backfire on downshift/cruise at 4k rpm

Re: Highway Foot Pegs
My Nighthawk is called Ethyl after a tractor I used to drive, I've had her up to 50 but only for a short while as I've honed the barrels (jugs) and fitted new piston rings. If I do need to use a motorcycle on our motorways I'll use my Zephyr 750

The bike has to be vertical on level ground, stood only on its tires.

Here is a link to folsoml's excellent video if it is your gear change shaft oil seal http://youtu.be/UZFFKhXBAw4 . One thing I would add if your gear change shaft is rusty or corroded, get a piece of thin plastic sheet, the kind of stuff that milk cartons are made of, and roll it into a tube, insert...
