There are 2 thick hoses that go from the fuel pump to the fuel pressure regulator; make sure you connect them right! the upper hose goes to the upper pipe from the FPR and viceversa.
The other 2 slim hoses are for ventilation. Mine now rest where the tank meets/screws with the frame, on the right side of the bike, under the seat. There used to be other 2 hoses, coming from there to under the bike, but I removed them for esthetical reasons

cheers matey but does anyone know the results of getting these 2 thick hoses mixed up and connected to the wrong fpr pipes will the bike still run?poor performance?

if you connect them wrong, I think your tank is going to explode.
just put them right... upper hose to upper FPR pipe and lower hose to lower FPR pipe; 2 hoses 2 pipe's, it's not that hard...
the bike won't run at all; just in case, keep the tank fill open while trying to start it
,cheers mate all must be good then.ive covered 80 since replacing the tank,by the sound of it i think i,d have known by now if i,d got them wrong way round.
