My plastic ones are wobbly in there and one someone had smeared silicone around. I got the fuel T new from my local Kawasaki dealer yesterday but on his diagram on the computer, we could not find the straight ones. I looked at Z1 first and found a billet T but not the straight ones.

I looked at Z1 first and did not find it in my searches. That says Suzuki which is probably why it did not show up. THANKS AGAIN GUYS!

I've also placed thin o-rings on each end of the stock rails with good results. The straight tubes I've seen on Ebay.

Maybe I am missing something here. If you needed straight but could only get the "T" why can"t you jut block off the "T" portion? Just curious. I know the straight pieces would look nicer but.......

He could, of course, but the cap or blocking mechanism would have to be gasoline-proof, as those tubes carry the fuel to the other carbs. Much better to just use the correct part from the get-go.

And because the T fitting is longer than than the straight one so when you go to put the carbs back together nothing lines up.
