Silly me forgets where to route my carb's drainage tubes now that I've rebuilt them.  Was there a hole for them where I've rebuilt a missing section of my rubber divider, or do they go in the gap near the anti lock brake unit?

On both my '86 and '89 they are routed between the swing arm pivot and the transmission case. This way any fuel is drained to the ground and not on the bike.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

There is a wire clip on the right side of the transmission case to route the hoses to.

After I had my carbs off, I just routed three out one side and three out the other. Then after I got the carbs
hooked up I went back and tucked the big ones down out of site,and let the little ones hang out the sides.
