WTF do you get a length of bike type fuel hose from?

Every where I have tried sells the stuff that has a very think wall (car pipe) and does not bend very well, whereas the stuff on bikes has a much thinner wall

That is what I thought but they are all the car type stuff.

I got the hose stuff on the RHS above from ebay.

I have some that I bought for fitting My Brembo M/C.  What diameter do you need and s it just a short length.  If so I can post it for you

How much do you need? I have a couple of bits spare that I bought for my trials bike that may do the job.

Thanks for the offers.
Due to it being 22 years old now (you can see the cracks in pipe in the picture), I am replacing all the fuel hose (4 bits) and putting in a longer main feed pipe so I can include a quick relese connector for the tank.
So the answer is I need a decent length of the stuff.
It is 8mm i/d.

I only have short bits I bought to replace the length from the fuel tank to the carbs.

But you can buy it off the reel from Britbits and they know their stuff rather than some YTS apprentice or me.
