85 VF500 Looking for Hose

Hi y'all. New member here.

I was riding the other day and I hit the gas and feel something wet splash my leg all of the sudden. When I inspected the bike, this hose was torn up (see attached image, hose circled in yellow). It smelled like fuel. Is this a fuel line? I'm assuming no, otherwise I woulda been getting sprayed not stop instead of just that one time. It's also a pre-molded 90 degree elbow. What sorta hose would I need to replace the one that's shredded?

Thanks for your help.

 

It is a breather hose, not a fuel line. The fuel line is right below going to the side of the carbs. You may be able to replace that with something that is not molded, just make sure you don't pinch it taking too tight of a turn.

 

Thanks Captain 80s. Any advice on what type of hose I can use or what material it would be made of? Would heater hose work? I have found some fuel line but it's really thick and kinks easily.

 

Just take the hose to your local hardware or auto parts store. Show them what ya got and how much ya need. Sometimes if it's not that long you can get it for free
