Hello,

I noticed this vacuum tube dangling while working on my K1, but have no clue what it's supposed to attach to. Any ideas would be great. Here's a link of a photo:

Thanks

Are you implying the other end of that hose also isn't attached to anything?

Identify the tube?  I can't even identify what part of the bike you have photographed.

Now that is humility and deserves a response. cheers I believe that is an enlarged view the hose (tube) emergence port of the Space X Inspiration 4 capsule.
