NOPE . I am wrong . there is a fitting and hose at the top of the frame (visible) at the front of the fuel tank and goes back to the air cleaner housing that vents to the inside of the housing. This keeps crankcase pressure from building up and ruining things . My apologies for the heresy.

The front brake hose going through the steering head took SOME effort

I had to go look. Yes , it is that stupid . It should be vented to the atmosphere but it isn't . I know there is a screen in the return hose to keep debris out of the crankcase .

Well , I did say I didn't care for it ! I will have to look at it again to make sure , but I think it is made that way . All my manuals are out in the shop.

I am sorry to hear you're selling . BUT , you gotta do what you gotta do.

No , it is part of the closed loop ventilation system. I don't like it but I didn't make it. This back hose goes up to the lower portion of the frame and bolts to the side of the frame. The front hose that always deteriorates goes into the top portion of the frame goes down and attaches to the engine crankcase area. Look at your parts manual for a good understanding .

What diameter are the one(s) you need ?

And , they are the correct diameter ?

Do these rubber inserts drop in place ?

I sure don't like the way those hydraulic lines are routed . That looks pretty sad.

The only time I did both at the same time was when I had new tires mounted and balanced on the Alpina wheels and I swapped the tire/wheel combo out one at a time from the bike. I do not recommend having both wheels up in the air/off the bike at the same time. we were doing something one time and had one wheel off the bike and had the bike on a jack w/the bars connected to an o/head hoist for safety. Came back in the next morning and the jack had leaked down COMPLETELY . If we did not have that secondary holding the bike we would have been upset. IF you live close to the shop doing the work , do one wheel at a time and do your work slowly and deliberately. Check all wheel bearings and apply a small amount of grease to the seals , shafts , etc. when you reassemble.

In Ky that is Valhalla !

Well , the Southern yanks (if there is such a thang) call them "tits" .

You watch (monitor) them while making casual conversation and see that they leave nothing loose or on wrong. Usually it's best to take the wheels there and let them swap the tires. You can reinstall at your leisure making sure you're happy w/the install.

When you do get this in and go to put it together , lubricate the pivot w/grease . This will make it easier and last longer.

Handle bar ? as in clip on ? Is yours on top of the triple tree or under the triple tree ? Can you post a pic ? If you can do w/o it for a while , I might can straighten it.

Is the frame color a factor ?

The black musicians become one with their instrument . Jimi was light years ahead of ANY musician. I cannot imagine what all those Brits felt when they saw him. I remember this documentary where one of them simply said "we'll have to get new jobs" .

I am sure Phil was giving Molly the best/correct diagnosis , he was trying to adjust the valves on the valve overlap stroke instead of the ignition stroke.

My picks. The V-7 Sport The Wind Tunnel The Stelvio Th V100 Mandello S The last Stelvio....Mmmmm . Too many colors

Wheat straw or soda straw ? Have you ever dropped a bike ? I have and it never gets old. You say words Chris Rock would have to walk out on. Concerning all the TDCs. Yes, one TDC will have the valves rocking and one TDC the valves will be still . This is where the 4 stroke philosophy comes in to play

My music was a little more rebellious . Black Oak , GFR , Black Sabbath , The Who , Bob Seger....The louder the better. Then for quality time : Al Green , Marvin Gaye and the likes .

Hmmm. my input is "for entertainment purposes only" .

Uh oh , if I added or subtracted correctly this means I am older than you ALL .

I had put the term V-Rod out of my mind.
