Question Couple questions about breather and drain hoses

I've got a couple questions about the breather and drain hoses. First of all which one is which. The big fat one on the left and the middle one. I know the one on the right is the vaccum hose.



Also the hose in the middle runs down to a t fitting on the right hand side.



One hose splits off on my bike, and goes no where along the frame on the right side.



And the other hose is routed under the bike to the left side to no where.



I'm wondering if this is normal. Thanks for any help you can give.

The big one is the overflow (little hole under the filler cap.

The little one (that should have a small wire clamp) is the vacuum line to the petcock that does NOT go to the nipple on the bottom, but to the nipple in the back.

The last one is the tank vent that goes to the bottom by the chin fairing.

The tee either goes to emissions equipment or needs to be capped for ease of carb sync.

The loose one I have no idea. Where does it come from?

Ok so the big one is the over flow. I knew about the vaccum hose, made that mistake already. So the other one is the vent. The vent is the one that that goes to the tee and then splits off to the chin fairing and then up on the right side (if you were sitting on it) and by the air box. I'm not sure about any emissions equipment. It's a firestorm if that makes any difference in the emissions equipment. Just like to know where the hell it's susposed to go or if I need to plug it.
Thanks for the help.
