Big lumps of metals and spanners. Including servicing and fluids.

The one at the top of the picture is the warm air feed for the original air box, for anti icing in the winter. The other is the breather from the crank case, and that passes into the air box on the original setup. I'd suggest it would need a filter on it at least, but really should feed into the engine inlet, otherwise it will allow nasty engine air to be fed into the cabin air feed, I believe.
