alehman, those tubes that connect into each other are the two crank case breather hoses. you are correct that they connect to a T piece that then goes into the airbox with positive pressure, bringing oil with it. this then goes through the airbox (the air gets burned in the engine) and the oil goes down a port and into tubes directed under the battery, then through a box which separates the thicker material?,then it drips below your bike. at least i think this is how it works. i just got an airbox and think i figured this out. the previous owner of my bike put air pods on and did the exact same thing with my crank case breather yours are now. someone else on this forum mentioned when these breathers are clogged, your engine will find its weakest point and make that its new crankcase breathers

mine rained oil until i found this out and replaced some gaskets.

good luck
