Me too! Found mine resting against the rear exhaust manifold, my guess is beside the rear shock but if anyone knows for sure-say so! ;)

Sorry for the delay in getting some pics up, been really busy!

This is a shot looking up at the underside of the tank at the fuel switch.
Notice i have taken the thinner tube off, this is so it look s alittle clearer. the small tube i cable tie to teh fatter tube and follow teh same route.

Image


This pic is looking down at the left hand side of the engine (cylinder 1) as if you are sat on the bike. you can see the tube passing between teh frame and teh racker cover.

Image


this is the opening in the frame that the tubes go into. The pic is looking towards the front of teh bike along the chain to the front sprocket, you can see the tube dissaperaing into the frame

Image

This is a close up of the opening in the frame.

I hope that makes sense. if not let me know and i can get some more pics up. ;)

Just putting mine in now and the thick one is way too long to fit in that slot? I'm gonna feed mine down to the rear shock spring and that should do.
