Trophy Fuel Line Size

QuadumphUK · Aug 15, 2014

Hi All
may seem like a silly question but what size fule lines on a Trophy 1200?
My 2 fuel lines are different sizes and was wondering which was correct one.
I know the really small one is vacumm.
Just wanted to buy some new ones with filters to help keep carbs clean.
Cheers if you can help

Just measure the internal diameter of the existing ones, or take them down to a bike shop, they will give you a replacement. But looking at you bike, I would measure the external and get a stainless spring to cover it, think it will help with the street fighter look.

Yeah i was thinking of stainless steel to cover the lines.
Good thinking and advice Cheers

Also use the parts diagrams on the World of Triumph Website as they should be able to help show what goes where.

Not sure if the idea of fitting filters is a good idea as had a friend who tried that on his 750 Daytona and ended up taking them off as they caused no end of hassles on the bike.

A fuel additive like Redex or Marvel Mystery Oil works just as well and I checked the carbs on my Daytona 1000 after a fell tank fulls using it and apart from one blocked pilot jet they were very clean.

Cheers

I had heard that Pod filters are problematic but also see alot of cafer racered bikes with them.
I not bothered about a litle bit of hassle as it`s all part of making a bike individual and keeps me out of mischief
Lookijng for after market exhaust aswell but all seem to be able to get are slip on end cans.
So looking to by some Ducati Monster ones with link pipe and see if can get to fit or Kwaka 1000 ones with 2 each side from98 model methinks.
Should be fun and wil put on here as go along
