So on top of my engine I have a hose coming back down to where the airbox use to be.. but the bike has Pods now.. whats that hose for and what do I do with it now?

The hose on top there..
 
thats the crankcase breather tube..used to go on a nipple on top of the stock airbox..basically its the PCV valve. If you got pods then you will need to put a short 3 or 4 inch piece of tubing on and a small round filter on the edn to keep crap from getting in to the motor. I wouldnt cut that piece just in case you decide to go back to stock..get a chunk from home depot or something.
 
Or,

you can take a small plastic bottle with a screw or snap cap, drill a hole in the cap big enough to stick the hose in, drill a few small vent holes in it and zip tie the bottle to the frame either under the tank, or where the air box was.

i was visioning those small tound ones that look like a mini K&N pod..someone had posted a pic once of one on the end of their hose.. thought it was a cute little gadget.
 
I use to run a K&N crankcase filter. I ended up with an oily mess under the seat where I had it positioned. Now I just run a length of hose out past the tail of the bike so the smoke dissipates into the air.
 
So I know I need to go to cycleorings.com and order a set for my carb, but i didnt see how to order the set for my 450.. Any one able to post me a link please?
 
Billy..you turn the hose up and mount the filter onto the frame like behind the coils..this keeps the recondensed oil vapors from dripping...supposedly.
 
Just aim it at your rear chain, keeps it oiled nicely with oil mist.
