carb rubbers

Anyone got a set of the rubber hoses that joins the carbs to the manifold on honda fireblade 893 engine. Or where can I get them of the shelf. Davy

Where are you?

Measure them and get a length of silicone hose which you can then cut.

Thanks for reply, I am over in belfast. I was told not to use silicon hose as it will not stick the use with petrol etc. Any thoughts. Davy

I think you can get silicone petrol hose, but ive not looked.

You can get silicone hose but make sure they are flouro lined, here is a supplier I've used that was good.

standard rubbers have ~15 degree turn and are moulded to match the engine and carb flanges which have location groves. Much better to get the right thing, try AB for some second hand ones ?
