Merci, bonjour, for showing me those tubes,
and thank you G-Man for advice on linking them.

I am interested in the advice to link them. On my 63 CB77 I have them hooked via a "Y" to one of those see thru gas filters. That filters the air that is sucked into the valve guides on engine overrun. To me, these fittings seem like a good idea. It does not seem like just connecting them together prevents oil from being sucked down the guides. Ideas?

Honda deleted them on later engines because the idea wasn't effective. Consequently it probably doesn't matter what you do with them, but leaving them open is probably not the best plan....
