Those are drain tubes. They stick down in about the center of the bike. There is a service manual pdf in the sticky that I've been using. If you look in there at page 18-4 they show you one of those may be your battery breather tube. Page 1-13 shows another.

Thanks for sharing, I would never have known. Those belong inside the handlebars?
