Do you mean the petrol tank? :lol:
It is a breather pipe and yes the rubber tube locates between the swinger and frame. :D

That's what I thought it was meant for too stig. When I fill up sometimes I get a bit of fluid on the floor through the pipe that fits on the tank. :retard:
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.
