Can you identify these parts?

These were in a box of parts I got with one of my vintage Ducatis.
I don't recognize them. Do you?

I have five of the silver pipe things...

Mystery Parts

Can't say what model they are off but black boxes look like part of an airbox/oil breather system.
Flexy bands are part of an air intake system that would have had an air intake snorkle with a 90 degree bend and the boxes look like an oil breather to drain oil back into the sump.
Silver tubes look like they could be front fork tube extenders to increase length of front forks.
Any other guesses?
Peter.

The silver tubes look like air filter adapters. they would screw into the mouth of the carb so you could clamp a hose or filter to it.
The black boxes are definitely breather boxes, they look like they might be from a Guzzi,Benelli,or possibly a Harley Sprint.

Yeah, I had guessed that the black boxes were part of an airfilter system but I've never seen anything like them.

Whatever they are I'll bet there's a guy out there trying to restore his bike looking all over for these things! haha.

I don't think the silver tubes are fork extenders because one end is threaded and the other is tapered and smooth.
Air filter adapter sounds about right but they are certainly over-built for that job.

thanks for the suggestions so far - keep em coming.

I'm pretty certain that these are crankcase breathers from a 'squared-fin' Tonti-framed Moto Guzzi, possibly a LeMans III. The bent strips of steel culminating in the short threaded rod should actually be straight. The ally tubes connect the air filter/breather with the carbs.

Of course, I could be wrong as I've only ever had/have round-fin Guzzis, bit I'm quite positive.

Thank you thank you! I knew that sooner or later someone would recognize these parts.
