Had a pretty significant leak from the right side fuel rail that never healed itself.  I ordered some new fuel rail o-rings from a local Honda dealer.  Once I was in there to replace them I thought I had better replace all of them, but it was on a weekend and the dealer was closed, and I was impatient.
I went to Advance Auto Parts and found some o-rings that were almost exactly the same size and used them on the remaining rails, the metal ones.  Put it all back together and ran it last night up to normal operating temperature and NO LEAKS! 
The o-ring size was 011.  I could not find any that were the same size to replace the air vent tube o-rings.

Maybe someone should add this info to the shoptalk page http://www.jkozloski.com/generic_parts.htm in the o-ring section...

The best part of the story is that the kid at the counter didn't know how to look them up on his computer to charge me, so he just gave them to me.   cooldude

In the plumbing section of your local Ace Hardware, a #123 is a good replacement for the intake runner O-rings. I've run a set of these for 8 years on my Tourer and have had no issues so far.
