BAK connection

[DEEPHATE]

My R had a BAK on it when I purchased in 2005. I have noticed how dilapidated the rubber connection between the BAK and the carb is. I'm not sure where or how to come up with a replacement for it. I mistakenly ordered the OE air cleaner connection but it has an angle to it whereas mine is straight. Ideas? It's about 2 & 3/8 diameter. Do I need to buy a 3 ft chunk of radiator hose? I need about an inch and a quarter..

I've bought two or three used Roadstars that had the BAK and they all look like shit. I think they look really nice brand new but they do not age well at all.

If you need one let me know. I bought some air intake off of Amazon with plenty left over.

If it is a Barons brand Bak call their customer service to see if they have a replacement available

[DEEPHATE]

I called them. It rang a long time then just stopped. Dead air. I am going to try emailing them.

That second site looks perfect other than the size being waaay off. I measure 62mm at the carb intake.

Trying to point you in the proper direction, you do some leg work too lol.

As I remember correctly I leg worked the hell out of it once before with no luck at all. I thought I would check the brain trust hoping it was something common.

I took my carb to the auto parts and got a piece of gas tank attach hose. Radiator hose will not hold up.

I found it! Nobody around me has any fuel fill hose in 2 3/8. It looks like straight stick radiator hose on it now. Maybe that's why it looks so bad.

Im not seeing a part number for just that. I will have to check with the factory which could take a few days.
Thank you,

wow I'm shocked. You can't be the first person to need a new one. You must have got the new guy on the phone.

[DEEPHATE]

Nobody answered the phone. I didn't think it could be so uncommon.

It just came in and seems to fit the bill perfectly with a lot left over:
