Hi Gregor This pipe supplies hot air to the carb to help cold starts in winter. Similar to the setup on a BX14 except there's a thermostatically controlled flap at the front end, instead of a manual "winter"/"summer" lever. My first BX never had one fitted, and my current one didn't, although TBH I didn't notice much difference when I fitted one! I bought two lengths of aluminium flexi pipe from halfrauds and duck taped them together to achieve the length required.
Cheers,
Mark.
