I felt this was better suited in general bike chat rather than the workshop....

A couple of weeks ago I was working on the VFR and while trying to remove part of the fuel line the splitter snapped (when I say snapped parts of it crumbled and resulted in a part strip of the carbs to remove all the plastic), I've been looking for the last couple of weeks (on and off) to find a replacement splitter and haven't had any luck yet and know you're a helpful bunch.

The part I'm looking for comes off the main fuel line (10mm) and splits off to the front and rear carbs (2x8mm), so any links to such a part would be greatly appreciated Thumbs Up

Y or tee?

I reckon you could make one of these work, I'd sleeve an 8mm with say heat shrink for the 10mm pipe

Y

Tee

If there was a concern about heat shrink tubing reacting to petrol
I'd mix up some kwik weld and build up the nozzle to 10mm with that.

Sorry I should have included more details.

It's a '91 VFR 750 FM, and it's a T piece with the 10mm coming off 1 side, but a Y splitter would work too I guess.


Quick edit, after putting my registration on the fowlers site I eventually found the part Thumbs Up
