Just wondering what goes in the guide. Cant remember what i removed from there i got the vent lines in now and they seem short.

Assuming the fuel line? Couldn't find a answer in the manual. The routing diagram wasnt to clear

There is a picture of the underside of the tank here link
I know I've figured it out before, what that triangle guide was for, I just don't remember what that was.
Maybe a support for setting the tank on a flat surface when off the bike or to help guide the lines as the tank is lowered ??
It is item 18 in the Fuel parts diagram. They just call it a bracket.

Nothing goes through that guide so that's probably why you don't remember removing anything from there.
The vent lines run through the white plastic guide under the tank then under the radiator hose, then through the 2 guides up front on the left side of engine.

I'm guessing that this assembly is used on more than one tank/engine. No telling what the bracket is used on/for.

It's a stand. Provides a third point of contact when removed tank is placed upright on floor. Protects pump attachments etc. from contacting the floor. Note that it is rubberized.
Thanks for the confirmation, that's what I was thinking, just couldn't remember for sure.
