I need a recommendation on vacuum line replacement, Should I replace ALL vacuum lines, and rubber components, and which sources are the best to buy them from? Thanks

RedEyetech is a good source for vac lines. You should replace the PAIR valve lines. That's from #3 & 4 lines that go under the air cleaner box. Also from # 6 to the petcock vacuum actuator. The rest of the lines can be left alone. ??? Do you have popping on deceleration? That's usually the reason for needing Vac line replacement.

I have a 97 standard, 40,700 miles, it starts fine, but idle gets high after warm-up, have played with the idle screw, I bought the Valkyrie used so I don't know if all the vacuum lines are original or not. Lately it just seems to run a little sluggish

If they haven't been replaced, its time. These monsters are getting some age on them so all the lines should be replaced if they haven't been., even the air valve lines.

I have looked at Motosport but I don't think they are showing all the vacuum lines, should I go to my Honda dealer and get them?

Why not just go to your friendly local auto supply store and buy it.

After you replace the vacuum lines and the intake plugs, you might want to consider synchronizing your carbs. If It's still running sluggish, you are probably dealing some plugging of your low speed jets.
