    Dose anyone make a carb rebuild kit for a 1987 VFR 700 or is it best to buy the various pieces from Honda . Do you have a vendor and part # . Sure this has been asked before but did not find anything doing a search.
    Want to replace the rubber between the head and carbs.Has anyone tried a different hose for this like high heat silicone hose or is Honda parts still the best here also .

    Thanks BF519

    Hi, It is actually not hose used for the carb holders. The rubber carb holders are designed to plug in one way to ensure good flow. They have a lip built into them to prevent reversion flow. they are INSULATOR, CARB 16211-ML7-000 and are about 10-15 dollars each Any Honda dealers can get the holders. There are various online parts suppliers. available. cyclepartswarehouse.com is one. This part is listed with the cylinder heads fiche.
