Strange, these parts fit before (I think)
Bought a Superhawk more than a year ago and promptly tore into the carbs for a thorough cleaning. Then I got distract with life and my other bike (a 79 CB 750 Limited - hey, at least its still a honda!)
Now, as I put them back together Im having a bit of trouble remembering EXACTLY how the hoses go. I labeled all the ones I thought I might be confused about when I took it apart, but I still need some help apparently. It really doesnt seem like the hoses I have line up with the air control valve (ie the hoses wont fit).
Looking through the fiche I dont see any great diagrams / pics. Theyre all kind of grainy and smushed together.
I have another set of carbs to look at, ALLEGEDLY from the same year, but with a couple of the hoses missing off it as well. Its air control valve is completely different (from California perhaps?) but strangely my hoses DO look like theyd fit on it. No, theres no chance I got the parts mixed up.
Though, I have considered just robbing the part off of it and going.
Anyway, anyone got some good pics? Id really like to ride this girl here in a couple of weeks.

As an update Ive managed to work out where all the hoses go except for one.
There is a hose that runs from the air cut off valve down to a T and then on to the vacuum pipe on the carb itself.
My question is - where does the hose that comes off the T go? I dont see any place left to put it. You can see the hose Im referring to on page 5-9 (bottom) and again on page 5-15 of the manual (top)

I think the hose that comes off the T connects on the bottom of the airbox. I dont have the PAIR system on my bike so just going by memory of later models I have seen. If you are standing on the left side of the bike facing the airbox, it's under the right hand top corner area.
