If I read your post correctly, you do not have the crankcase breather canister.  You can let the hose from the top of the valve cover just vent to the atmosphere.  I can't imagine it would hurt anything.  Maybe Honda was trying to be environmentally conscious, by gathering up all the moisture and stuff and disposing of it properly.  Perhaps someone with a complete system on their bike could run theirs with the stopper out and see if it makes a difference.

I believe there's a mention in the FSM, or you could check www.bikebandit.com and see how all those hoses and stuff is routed.
