    Anyone know this off the top of their head? Or a good place to buy some? I decided recently to replace the hoses on mine since they are original (even though I only have just over 16,000 miles) so went to order from the local dealer. Only two were pre-bent so I went with those, only to find out once the order came back that they were no longer available (why they were on the computer I have no idea). So if anybody knows about this I would appreciate the info.

    can't help ya with size, but that's one part I wouldn't buy from a dealer. When you do figure out what size it is, you should be able to get straight tube from a local auto parts store and a small tube bender to fabricate your own. I have my own flangers, benders, and cutters but I'd bet you can buy all the tools and pipe for less than the dealer would have charged if they stocked it. Same thing with hose and clamps.

    I don't know what sizes yours uses. I know I was able to get most for my VFR700 from Honda oem molded, but a couple were unavailible. After trying the auto junk and clear plastic garbage. I tracked down some called Blue Line, very flexible, very durable and looks like oem. It's not thick like auto garb, it fits nice between carbs and doesn't strain the carb plastic crossover tubes.

    I should clarify, I am talking about the rubber hoses from the tank to the fuel pump, and the pump to the carbs. There are four pieces, two of which had bends in them. I like things to route the way the mfg meant which is why I was buying factory. I can pull one off and go to the store with it, but as it is probably metric I don't think I'll find the right size here in the States. I just like things to be correct to minimize problems down the road.

    It's probably 1/4" or 3/8". Your best bet would be to take a fitting in with you (if you can) and test fit whatever hose you get. Don't worry about metric vs Standard, it will be close enough. Just buy as much as you need, cut to length and route it how ever you want without kinking. It's my experience that lines like this are not likely molded to begin with and only hold their shape due to how long they have been in that position...and vulcanization.

    As I said the Blue Line is all I found (after extensive search) that matches oem, it's a gray color line, metric doesn't matter, only other place that may have similar is a VW dealer. I wanted mine back to original and I don't like redoing things, I keep them forever. Only dealer in AZ that had it was Coyote Honda Avondale and only a buck a foot. I believe Motion Pro Premium is like OEM but no one in AZ had it.
