    Custom made fuel lines?

    Does anyone know of a place that can custom make fuel lines? I’m looking to have parts 37,38, and 40 made from this parts diagram. I can probably find the rubber/plastic lines from other Yamaha models, but the metal parts are proving hard, specifically #40
    Thanks

    There are DIY stainless flex fuel line kits online.

    Yes, you can't copy something without specs or at minimum the thing itself.

    I can get the OE parts if needed to copy, I just can’t keep them for my bike.
    Once again, my specific question is, does anyone know of a place that can make these?

    Are you sure that's what you're asking?

    Not my field, but my armchair guess is that 37 is a straight casting with maybe some threading afterward?
    38 looks cast-then-bent with either pressure or some 'fill' inside the tube to prevent creasing at the bends.
    40 looks like they'd use the 38 process and then add a mounting bracket?

    "How hard could it be?" but seriously good luck. I appreciate your aiming for OEM correctness here but am scared to find out what a competent maker would charge for it.

    I actually think there is a part missing, unless #37 comes as one. I have the small portion of line that #37 points to. I also have #39. They are hard plastic lines, the connectors at a 90, have the elbow built into the connector. The portion the plastic slips over and clips to, are stainless steel.

    My goal is to have the bike put together as correctly as possible, I don’t want to say money is no object, but I’m ok paying what’s needed to make these as correct and original as possible.

    Think Tricky MIke could make something like this? Maybe Adam Kells at AK Race Fab (Seacoast Sport Cycles)?
