Are you talking about the part that attaches to the air cleaner (elbow) and not the flexible part that goes between the manifold and the air cleaner?

Hi Jeff,
I am referring to the actual tube that travels the distance you mentioned and the clamps that go with it. I had one purchased through ebay, it was a repro from inline tube- but they canceled my order because they are out of stock.

I think the correct ones have a black paper almost cloth like covering on them. Don't have any personal experience with the repro's.

Thanks Jeff,

I will keep this on file in case I cannot come up with an OEM part or something.

I got the one from inline tube. It looks pretty OEM. It is on page 109. It is like a paper.

Craig,

Pretty sure I bought mine from Ames or PY, along with the correct "crimp clamp" for the base to the heat riser plate. Looks great. Have you checked them?

I'm looking for this exact same thing for my 400 vert. Where did you end up getting the heat riser and clamps at?

Local auto parts stores have them.


I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
