Fuel Line
What is the best source you have found for replacement fuel line other than OEM. What are you using that is good. Thanks.

Cycle Recycle II sells some nice translucent blue fuel line that's quite nice. However, it's only available in inch sizes. The 5/16" fits 8mm just fine, but the 1/4" is a bit too big for 6mm fittings.
You can still order the Suzuki fuel line if you want the most correct. Any Honda dealer should also be able to sell you lengths of their fuel line -- it seems to last the longest of anything I've seen.
Fuel line from an auto parts store usually works, but is way too bulky. And the clear vinyl stuff many hardware stores and custom shops sell as fuel line is junk -- it'll quickly turn brown, deteriorate, and set your crotch on fire.1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.

Go with the blue stuff; it works great. Just don't try and turn any tight corners with it; it will kink.
I got my blue fuel line at Fleet Farm.

The bulky stuff from autoparts stores seemed too thick for me, but it cleared the gap on my 650's carbs easy-peasy. But then I got the CRCII blue line, which I like alot.
