Go to Princess Auto to buy fuel line, they sell it by the foot in various thickness. BTW I noticed you have the rare oval tail light. What is the Stanley part number on that lens?

Here are two photos of the Stanley lens. I was not sure which number you need to reference.

I posted about this already, but I'll put it in the restoration page as well. I took apart my carbs to clean and found this bronw gunk all over the casing of the carbs and when I removed it I realized it was someone's attempt to fix holes in the carbs. I'm currently looking to get replacement carbs.

I noticed the tube that runs from the air filter to the carb has a crack in it, would you repair this or just get a replacement? Where is a good place to get new airfilters?
Thanks for all the help so far, I really appreciate it.

Zads,
I got replacement filters pretty cheaply from "retrobikes" at olypen.com/retro/ I used some pieces of old radiator hose for the tubes, left over from a 1979 Chevy I believe, but you might find something else just as effective.
Looks like you are having fun. By the way, I have used "brown stuff" AKA JB Weld to patch a similarly ventilated carburetor in my CT90. Brown stuff works pretty well!
Best regards,
Larry

Tim at classic Honda restoration has the replacement rubber tubes for 75 dollars a pair. He is a good guy to buy from and is on this site from time to time. Good luck on your bike!

Just a tip of the hat to Tim. He has the real parts and is a great guy to deal with. IMO
