Alright y'all with stockish fuel injection, what fuel filter are you using? The OEM looks like

Is there anything even remotely close in size & shape?

Long time ago I read about in a GB bike forum, some Japanese car (Toyota, Mitsubishi,...?) use the same fuel filter design for the half of the Kawasaki prize.

When I looked on Partzilla, they say the wait time is over 200 days! :dry:

That's good news. I'll keep that in mind!

Well, you're absolutely right! Maybe they found a more "local" source for the filters! :)

I just had a factory original filter delivered today from Babbitts Online.

The bigger problem is the magic fuel hose between the fuel filter and the fuel pump. It’s only a few inches long, makes 2-90 degree turns and increases in diameter from 6(?)mm to 10(?)mm.

I have searched online in the US and Europe, not available anywhere.

Has anyone come up with a clever solution? Adapters?

I vaguely remember seeing a post recently ( last six months) were they found a section of an auto hose that fit. Problem was it was a rad hose and other members had concerns about fuel attacking the rubber... that’s all I got.
