Can someone measure their carb overflow tubes and tell me how long they are from end to end. Thanks.

Helps a bunch. Thanks. I think they are all the same length and then come together at the end. Right?

buying washer hose?
I cut mine to 24" length and routed them as they should be.  secured them together in pairs with black zipties, and then cut them just below the swingarm level.  20" probably

What is the size of the overflow tubing and where might I be able to find some in bulk that replicates the stock tubing. My CB550 is without any overflow tubes on all 4 carburetors.
Thanks.

I just took a float bowl in to my local hardware store and found the rolls of their rubber tube stock. Got the right size and cut.
