Any recommendations on best pipe to use to replace what I have, and where to get it mail order?
Mine has just split, temporarily fixed by cutting part of it out and putting in an inline filter I had :) :)

I used some off eBay for my S1. Something like this:

I bet any car accessory shop will have some to match up...

Cheers, what size I.D. do I need?
Was thinking of clear braided pipe so I can see if I have run out of fuel!

Can't remember what size I bought, but easy enough to measure...

Clear stuff? I seem to remember it yellowing and hardening on all the bikes I have seen using it... I think the black stuff is Nitrile which is resilient to fuel.

I remember old pipe doing that too, forgot about that.
Just found this stuff:

not suitable for ethanol so a bit useless nowadays. Is the ebay stuff ok ( bit paranoid about the problems ethanol is, and will be, causing on my bikes)

I think the stuff I posted a link is what I have on mine and have not had any issues over the last six years or so.
