Air box question. I just notice this

Since I am considering pods I have been checking out various details in and around the air box in preparation to remove it.  I noticed that just behind each intake snorkel (point down) is a plastic port/nipple that looks like it SHOULD have some tube attached.  Neither of mine does and they just appear to be open.  

 

Is this normal?  Should I be looking for some loose vacuum hoses or something?

 

Thanks!

Completely normal. On the original 1100 Sport w/ the "ram air" fairing, there was a vacuum lines that connected one intake horn with the other to balance them in a crosswind situation, iirc. But mostly, they're just drains for any water that condenses in the intake horns. Artifacts of ancient Guzzi history or preventive medicine, take your pick.
