Replacing the the fuel hoses with color hoses. What O.D. size(s) are the hoses?

Search turns up a gold mine... 7mm is the correct ID but 1/4" is close enough.  You need the right ID.  The OD shouldn't matter that terribly much as it'll just determine the thickness.

Correct and 5/16 ID will work in a pinch.Try to avoid automotive style hoses.Their wall thickness is to thick to fit them on the tank petcock easily.A lot of people here use tygon hose.I got mine from a local dirt bike racing shop.4 foot for $15.I got extra because I need it for my tuning tank.
PICS are GONE never TO return.

I searched every where locally and couldn't find it.Neely Racing was the only local place that had it.

Found some for .99 a foot at a local owned bike shop. If anyone needs sum and you're close to Chattanooga, TN, let me know.
