Voes/hose
I recently purchased a bypass kit for the vacuum petcock due to having issues with fuel delivery. I want to replace the Y to the VOES and run new vacuum hose to the carb. The local H-D dealership has informed me that they no longer carry VOES vacuum hose. Can someone let me know where to purchase replacement hose or what vacuum hose from the auto shop (NAPA etc.) that would be a good replacement. I have read threads before that say to use windshield washer line but I've also read when heated they may collapse. Any Ideas?

It's similar stuff I used to use as fuel hose on model aircraft with a small engine! So a model shop? Or car screen washer hose? Have a look around Ebay, it's amazing what can be bought on there.

Thanks everyone for the information. I'll take some of the old hose into NAPA and see what they have this weekend. I'll post what they recommend and part number/hose diameter for those that may be searching for Voes hose in the future.

Took the VOES hose to NAPA. They didn't have the exact fit but gave me a few different lengths of hose to try out. Ended up fitting a vacuum hose out of a box of cut length hose that they had behind the counter. So I guess if anyone else has the same issue, take in your hose and the (T) with barbs and have it fitted to a vacuum hose that will work. They charged .75 for 12" of hose and it worked fine for several test rides. I traded the bike in and went with a newer touring model.
