depends what carbs really. they come in different sizes.
if you can get the original rubbers from your carbs then thats a bonus, if not, silcone works. some people use it for years with no problems, some say
it perishes with the petrol.
as for where, check silicone hose world (i think) on ebay
or search for venair. good stuff, and much cheaper than samco and the like

Ok thanks for the reply. The carbs are from an R1. I thought i might be able to get a measurement on here without taking them off. The ones i have at
the moment don't appear to be silicone, and don't look that nice, hence the reason to change them for something more decorative.

Ive been a lasy git and asked before i checked. Just dropped the carbs off and found that the ID is 45mm. Also, would prefer black or even better,
orange. So thank you for your offer, but will have to decline that one.
