has anybody replaced the rubber lines with ss braided lines? i think this will be a cool look to add to the scrambler. the current lines are split and cracked and need to be replaced. there are plastic "coneish" looking parts on the rubber lines. what are they? and are they needed...... sorry guys im a hell of alot better with a skill saw and my nail bags than a pile of wrenches.

Fuel filters from the sound of it. Depending on how clean, or dirty the inside of the tank is on whether or not you need them. Some folks insist on running them always, a bit of insuance. IMHO, the braided lines will look out of place on a 60s Honda. 5.5mm ID is the corrct size for the fuel line.

well Davo, you were right. they are filters. i replaced the lines with standard rubber fuel lines, BUT in the process one of the filters top came off. is there a place i can buy afew more? should i just super glue the top part back on? any sugestions?

Most motorcycle shops have a cardboard display that holds about 20 of them, and they're cheap. If you can't find them locally, try motionpro.com , or Ebay.

Another place for those little filters is lawnmower and lawn tractor dealers and repair shops.

I had to chuckle at the "cone-ish" description. I was going to ask if perhaps your bike was made in France.

Best place I've found for in-line fuel filters is Lowes hardware stores (Briggs & Stratton makes a smaller, red one for cheap) or Autozone back by the oil section where they have all sizes in generic brands.
