I currently have the bike rigged up...it would great to find a non broken OEM part. Used is obviously fine
I have a 71 with 74 engine so I assume these are 74 parts. (dunno if they changed from 71-74)
Thanks!!

Those fittings are for the overflow from the float bowls.
If you float valves are working ok, then they are not needed.
If the floats valves stick open and overfill the bowls. The gas runs down a tube into those fittings, from the fittings through hoses to below the engine and out on the ground.
With out the fittings and hoses the gas will just run out onto the engine case below the carbs.
It makes a mess.
If you find a source I need a set to.
