What you don't do
is plug 'em
The ones to the carb rack vent the float bowls so they'll fill and the one to the crankcase vents blow by and other fumes.
The bike won't run for long with the float bowl vents plugged and the plugging the crankcase vent could blow crankshaft seals.
Not much help am I?

Rizzo,
Folks have put a "T" fitting on the vent hoses and then a filter on the end of the "T" and secured it up under the gastank so that it is open to air. The big hose, some have just routed it down between the frame/swingarm similar to the battery drain. Others have gotten filters to put on the end to keep moisture, rain, bugs, etc. from getting up there. I've had mine tucked down for 8 years, but I just recently bought a bit of bling from MIkesXS to cap it with a chrome plated filter, now that I'm going to "try" to put a decent paint job on my beast, trying to change it from a "RAT" bike to at least a lizard!
