Crankcase Race breather box tubing??
 

Have just fitted a race type crankcase breather box in my subframe and wanted to know if anyone has any of the right size rubber tubing that goes with it? Or knows of any that may be for sale etc. Where to get it?

I have tried the dealers and after getting the price for the original tubes from Ducati, thought Sod that, its only rubber tubing!!

I have the race crankcase breather and the internal airbox reed valve breather. At the moment I am using an asortment of old tubing just to get it working/Tested. Plus the tubing that I am using is a bit thick and reluctant to bend.

I guess that the tube I am using is a bit thicker than the Ducati tubing and so not as bendy.

Any help would be grate. Thanks.

Have posted in the Market place section as well.

You'll struggle, I would have thought. The original hoses are actually formed, not just straight pieces, which are ackward to route properly around the seat frame. What did they quote you for prices? I didn't think they were that dear, tbh.

£20 for one. £30 for the other.:o I thinks thats a tad steep.

Getting from the breather box is not a problem as I have formed a nice little alloy tube elbow that does the job.;)

I think i will do a bit of ringing around some rubber hose firms to see what I can fine before I spend £50 odd notes on rubber tubing.

when I tried getting some I had quite a bit of difficulty
JHP said that they were no longer available.
when I spoke to moto rapido, they said that they source there own.
luckily neil748r on the board had a old set that he kindly let me have.
so would be interested in how you get on.
perhaps send wilf from rapido a U2U

doesnt it have to be of a certain quality and non collapsable?

Yep motor sport quality. In other words oil and petrol resistant.;)
Theres no real ( major ) pressure from the crankcase breather when the engine is running so good quality rubber or silicon hoses should do the trick.

As Luck would have it I think I have found some online.
