    To the vacuum port on the carb. Not sure which one for your bike. Buts it's probably the one that doesn't have a cap. That is if you have a stock petcock.

    Usually it connects to the number 3 intake manifold, but it really does not matter which one as long as the other 3 are capped off.

    The reason for hooking it to #3 is that #3 is the master carb and the vacuum from it is used as baseline for calibrating the manometer that was used during initial setup before delivery to the first owner. A trivial point really, but nice to know.
