Ok I had to completely rebuild my engine. But when I got to me carbs I changed to air pods. Now the question is what do I do with the two large vacuum line that ran to the air box. Do I block them off, run them to somewhere else. Please help

I don't think those are vacuum lines but vent lines. You can leave them open to air. -
ok I wasn't sure what they were I could find anything on them in the manual. Thanks.Comment

They ARE vent lines. Point them down or to the rear.

Just in case you didn't know, you will need to rejet the carbs with the installation of those air filters. Dynojet kits have a good reputation with the folks that use them here. Also, there is a big difference in quality between some real K&N pods and the cheap Emgo filters. Big price difference too. Pods from the likes of APE are decent quality but much cheaper than K&N's and a lot of forum members provide positive reviews of them as well.Ed
To measure is to know.

I have the jet kit and I bought the K&N pods. I have the factory air box but the rubbers are bad, and the pods were cheaper than the air box. That is why I went with pods. It already had a four to one exhaust on it. So I figured go the rest of the way. I am making it into a caf? bike. The pods give it a little cleaner look that I like. Thanks guys.Comment

With the kit do not use the vent hoses.
The T's open to air is what you want.Comment

Any GS I have ever seen only has ONE line connected to the air box, and it is a crankcase ventilation line. It collects the vapors that are created by blow-by in the cylinders and allows the carbs to pull it through to be burned.
OK, some bikes have had a drain line connected to the bottom-left corner of the airbox, but that one should be rather obvious, as it is not connected to the engine.If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.Comment

The vent hoses from BS carbs typically run back over the airbox. They don't vent into it, but are occasionally attached to it {or an adjacent frame tube) with some sort of clip, just or the sake of tidiness.
