I need the experts out there to play a game of "Name That Part"!!!! After returning from a quick ride I noticed a small section of (aged) clear drain hose with a black valve adapter in the middle laying on the driveway. On one side of the adapter, the hose is a larger diameter than the other end. I'm certain it came off the CBX, but can't tell from where. I even gave the exploded parts pages a quick look over, but can't be sure from where? It looks like the (aged) hose broke off on the smaller hose side.

Vince,
It looks like the battery overflow tube that attaches to the battery. Remove your left sidecover and see if it is missing. It is the wrong color but who knows?
Crankcase breather tube

IMHO, this looks like the crankcase breather tube (it attached to a plastic container that looks like a radiator overflow) located below the air cleaner.
some models the tube was blocked with a plastic plug, you removed to drain the moisture/oil the container caught.

Thanks for the reply Tom, but I already checked the battery overflow tube it wasn't that. Mystery continues!

Vague memory tells me that is the crankcase vent - yhe little bottle is to collect the condensed vapors before they drip out on the road.
