Thanks for that, but I would just like to find the clear line in bulk.

nice thanks...I was in Redwood City a few years ago and a guy there had a big spool of clear plastic tubing. Like hundreds of feet. I wonder if it was the same stuff. It was perfect for Mk1 supply lines.

Clear vinyl works but gets too stiff/brittle too quick.
 Especially in winter.
 The blue urethane I get from a local Honda motorcycle shop works great,
 stays flexible even when cold,.. and doesn't cost alot.

Is it made by Honda or someone else? What's the price?

I use Nylon Tubing I bought at Home Depot.  Works great, I heat some Oil in a small pan and dip the end in it for a few seconds and then it pushes right on to the Barbs.

Nylon sounds rigid.
 I like to be able to move my Rabbit filter, to make room for wrenches when removing timing belt cover or manifolds.
 Flexible urethane makes it easy to set to the side.
 
 No, Honda doesn't make it.
 Most motorcycle shops sell it.
 Can't remember the price for 1/4",.. maybe $1 a foot.
