I have several 1977 KZ1000A models and several fuel tanks (both standard and LTD). None of them have a vacuum petcock.

They're designed to get any overflow from the carb float bowls away from the hot engine.

Oem routing of hoses from the two float bowl vents is through the frame to exit underneath the seat.
Note hose grips molded into top of air box for this purpose.

The hoses attached to the overflow nipples on bottoms of float bowls are usually routed to exit underneath the bike.

Here's a pic of the oem hoses showing how they are routed.
