    Where To Buy Clear Fuel Line?

    Also, what size should I get? I remember reading that the fuel hose was 7mm factory... I'm not near the bike at the moment so I can't double check.

    Is the clear fuel line available at my local autozone or to I have to go to a farm & landscape supply store?

    Thanks!

    be sure whatever line you end up buying is uv stable and ethanol compatible. a lot of specialty color fuel line is neither and if you actually have access to the packaging/ spec sheet it will say suitable for vent only. nasty stuff happens to everything in contact with melted rubber and plastic lines. i use 5.5 mm stuff from free flo. excellent results. all my lines are clear pink not clear but they have held up very well.

        I got Parts Unlimited 1/4 I.D. fuel line.It's transparent with a blue tint.I have had no issues with this line in three years.However,I change my fuel lines every year when I do my preventative carb cleaning.It's also a tight fitting fuel line.I don't use clamps.

        Parts Unlimited is the world’s largest distributor of aftermarket accessories in the powersports industry.

          Oddly Cycle Gear has fuel line in different colors, maybe clear. If you have a store near by it might be worth calling.

            No idea where "wild west" is, but any shoppe that caters to dirt bikes will have clear and tinted fuel line in stock.

                My 1100 has a vinyl gas fuel line with the strands in it. I don't like it and someday will be going back to stock. The problem is it hardens over time and becomes inflexible and a real pain to take off the petcock and put back on. It was already on the bike when I got it.
