Fuel tank breather hoses missing?

[Lawrence]

was this design changed at all on later bikes? as mine is a 2003 and doesnt have breather pipes connected but when the tank is lowered the two bits where the pipes would connect to go into 1 quite large oval shaped rubber/plastic piece that feeds it away from the engine.
does this sound like anyone elses or am i or my bike just weird?? :rolleyes

I think that's correct, although no idea when it was changed.  Mine on the other hand has no funnel or pipes, think I'd better get a couple of hoses on there to be on the safe side.
