    Greetings and Salutations!!

    Hi Mr. Wes30327,

    There are normally two "lines" coming from the tank, the fuel level sensor actually. One is an electrical connection to the fuel gauge and the other is an overflow tube that routes down in front of the battery box, behind the engine, and down to the ground by the rear wheel.

    For reference: Where Do These Hoses Go?

    You'll find more of that in the links below. It's your "mega-welcome". In it you will also find a couple of maintenance lists. Make sure every item on these lists are properly attended to. Take shortcuts and skip steps at your peril. See the "how-to" guides on my little website for help.

    If you are here you probably have a 30 year old motorcycle that needs about 20 years worth of maintenance. You'll find all kinds of helpful tips, procedures, manuals, diagrams, "how-to" guides, etc, in the links below. Let's get started.

    Let me dump a TON of information on you and share some GS lovin'.
