found this and it works perfect to replace the old faded covers.
they sell on ebay at a better price and shipping costs listed as Shrinkflex Ultra Clear PVC Heat Shrink Tubing 10FT -1/2" 2:1 H2P0.50CL

Will bookmark.  

Sure love my ss lines front and back on Ruby.  What a difference!!!  Had BigBF install them for me.  He said I needed to get the matching clutch line as well, more for aesthetics I think.   coolsmiley  I told him I would, and I'd have him install it next time.  I did.  It's still hanging in the retail package on a hook in my shed.  Doubt I'll take that project on myself.

We were robbed of a great guy who loved providing a service to the mechanically averse like myself.  I do what I can BUT clutch lines, carbs, timing belts and even spline service make me feel like I'm out of my element (and my mind).

Bill could have helped us dinosaur riders for years to come.  I miss the hell out of him.

"they sell on ebay at a better price and shipping costs listed as Shrinkflex Ultra Clear PVC Heat Shrink Tubing 10FT -1/2" 2:1 H2P0.50CL"

I wasn't able to find their store on ebay.


Anyways, I saved their data sheet on Different Heat Shrink Tubing Materials (click to enlarge graphic).
Myself, I never understood the difference between Polyolefin, PVC, PTFE, and Viton tubing material.
It's a good reference. For example, "Polyolefin has a low tolerance for UV resistance compared to other shrink tubing."

clutch line is easy, bolt at reservoir and one at slave cylinder.  seat and tank need to be removed to remove and install the line.  then just bleed the line.
