Place carries 7/32 clear.. or 5.5mm

Nice find! $16 shipping, but only $1ft. Think I'll buy $10ft and resell to forum.

I might be into buying some from you... if you dont charge $16 for shipping

I placed an order for 15ft. As soon as i get it i'll put a post in FOR SALE classifieds and bump it every few days.

I need some for a few projects. Otherwise, I'll divide the 15ft by the hard cost of getting it and selling it, rounded up to the nearest 25cents. I'm going to highball it at $3.00 per foot. No takers, I'll eat it.

Probably about twice what Honda gets for 5.5 bulk in black. So you really want the clear (I do).

50ft of translucent blue 7/32 fuel line at less than $1/ft delivered.  Tempted.  I only want about 10-15 feet though (to handle bike and aux tank)!

Search ebay for Tygon, very happy with those.

the sudco fuel lines are ugly....

what size tygon hose do you use?

------------------------------------------------------

so from what i understand some 1/4 are to loose and some 3/16 are to tight but it depends on the brand. like i was saying my crappy blue fuel line the 1/4 is very tight.

so pretty much its just kinda brand orientated soooooooooo in that case they tygon. which one do you use 1/4 or 3/16?

It is strange how people will spend a dollar to save a penny.  I bought 5.5mm honda line from my local honda dealership. The guy brought out a huge rol,l I asked for three feet, he cut it off.  I paid $8 and was riding my 750 30 minutes later with brand new nonleaking hoses.

Not sure if this is directed at me, but if you can find a vendor that sells small quantities of 5.5 clear fuel line for that price then I'd jump on it.  Unfortunately it seems that most vendors want to charge high shipping rates for small quantities, or they'll give you a great price on huge quantities.

The vendor MCRider used would effectively be charging over twice what you paid for the same amount.

Its the only clear 5.5 I've ever seen and I've looked. I'm willing to pay a premium (S&H) to get it. It's just a toy. i have a budget for toys.

Yes if you want clear line, there are options.  I don't use the clear any more since I ran out, if I need to see what is going on in the lines, I swap out my fuel filters for some clear ones I have for checking.

For $8 im down with that!!!

U just go to a honda motor cycle dealer?

Ya the shipping kills!!!
