once you decide you are going to order some hoses make sure gas tank is empty.
may wish to have some extra clips on hand just in case.
purchase some cheap internal external retaining clip pliers from napa or auto part(less than $10).
place some small rags near throttle body and about the primary area for over spill..
may need to remove the 3 bolts holding tank and lift the tank with a tennis ball or rag under the front to give you a little room to work.
There is a kit from harley..Small bag of o-rings sold for the items in throttle body area..o-rings for injectors, and various connections in that area..good time to replace those.

Might want to look at the vent line coming off the fuel tank. Is it pinched or pulled loose from the tank?
Does it cough out the carb while riding? Is your air filter saturated with fuel?
Does your oil smell like fuel? Seen issues there too. Certainly hope that ain't the case.

I'm glad you isolated where the leak was. Too bad the cost is so high, but there is still a nice feeling knowing that you nailed the problem. I hate chasing stuff with money, only to find out the problem still exists.
Thanks for the compliment on my bike!

and this is link to J & P cycle--look at fitment--these look like just like the harley ones but
with the braided cover..make sure you have the cheap tool to remove the c-clip at the throttle body that holds the hose..that little clip will fly and vanish..it is very inexpensive about $1 or $2

I didn't realize that this price was for BOTH lines! Thanks for the link, im. I just ordered the item (along with a primary gasket... mine is leaking) and signed up for the gold membership... I still need to rig this bike up for 2 up riding for my wife and will take advantage of the gold member savings.

Do NOT forget the rags for throttle body area.
The "RETAINING CLIPS" on throttle body that hold the lines FLY really really good and disappear..Put bright rags around that area.
Let us know how it works out.
