Default Keihin CV plastic fuel inlet....

I am wondering what people are using to replace this piece on their carbs...Mine (like many others) has developed a crack but the only thing I can find is a 50.00 replacement on Ebay. That seems a bit ridiculous for a brass 90 degree fitting....

Thanks

I had this problem about 20 years ago. Seems to me a piece of brass and some JB Weld fixed me right up, but the details are sketchy.

Your local Harley dealer has the brass replacement ones.

I broke away the plastic and pushed the fuel line over the brass "stub". Added a hose clamp and it was fine.
