Thats part of the AIR pump that some of us have removed. From what i understand, you would need to remove the whole thing, not just the one hose.

I didn't cut any hose on mine. I used all of it and just connected the existing hose to the one supplied with the lid. Now I don't have any hoses in my lid though since I deleted my AIR system.

you just need to find somthing to plug the hole in the lid and you will be fine. I actually found the bung at the gym in the pull up machine. I am sure you can check around at hardware stores etc.. You just need to cut the hose enough to where you can tuck it somewhere if you don't want to remove it. I tucked mine behind the headlight in the fender where you can't see it. Don't forget to put a breather in the air tube. these can be found at the rice burner section of any parts store.

I was thinking of doing !air when I do my header install but just said eff it.
