Pipe query

Evening all
The two rubber hoses that run down the right side of my bike from what appears to be the front of the carbs (not lifted the tank yet as it’s full) what are they please?
I’ve checked my Haynes manual but can’t find the info in there. Cheers

They sound more like carb overflow pipes, do the run down to the rhs just in front of the swing arm pivot?

Found a small leak from them after a ride. Couldn’t make out whether it was oil or fuel.

Ah them. Yes mine had a dribble today as I rerouted mine as I saw a different picture. I thought you meant the ones with the spring coils on the outside. I beg you pardon for that.

Are they carb overflow or breathers?
