#12 was clear #27 was full of oil. I'm cleaning I'll of it before I put it back together.
#27 goes onto the frame right? Just inside the RR wheel?
The machine I have in the shop right now has it full of a mystery liquid(could be oil, could be water) . I haven't drained it yet.

Yeah it runs down the frame. That's the drain for the breather box. Is what's in it Green ish? It could be the Honda filter oil. The first time I cleaned my air filter I did what 906 had said and used way to much. That green crap was everywhere.

Looks like water, I will dump it out when I start rebuilding.

#27 is the airbox drain, any liquid in the box should make it's way into that tube, it should have a cap on the bottom for draining it.
