    Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get a pre-formed s shaped main gas line, the one from petcock to the carbs. I seem to have the original in a box with some spare carbs that came with the bike but it's dried out and seems like it's shrunk so I'm not sure if it'd be able to be re-hydrated or if it's worth attempting to do so. Any tips or info is greatly appreciated!

    The only thing I can think of is take the line to an auto parts store and see if they will let you walk around the store room. It is amazing what they have hanging on the wall in the way of hoses. Especially if it is an older store. I have found several hoses with weird bends this way.. Cut to fit...

    On my '86 the PO used two 90* elbows. Works great.
