There is a tiny hole in this section of the pipe....

If your bikes off the road and the pipe is shot would you be prepared to send it to me. I'll get my local engineer to have a butchers at it and see what he can knock up. Will need the top and bottom banjo bolts to measure too
Someone with a break flaring tool could probably make something up using steel brake line. The only tricky part might be getting fittings that have the same thread size as the current banjo bolts
Can someone please send me an old burst one so I can get some new ones done. Had/have this problem with xj diversions easily fixed . Simply fix remove pipe cut out knackered section replace with decent hose and refit with new washers check xj600 diversion mods it's common, however taking the old pipe to pirtek is a better idea they use stainless hoses and very fancy fittings. Bottom line is its not a disaster just a pain
I asked a breaker i they had any scrap pipes to no avail.
I would defo get one if made for the group for peice of mind. My brother mentioned Pirtek but i don't want to remove mine at the moment, as its currently working. Hopefully CNW180 will pass on his broken pipe.

Take the pipe off, cut the pipe where the hole is and push a rubber fuel pipe over both cut ends to rejoin the pipe. Use jubilee clips to secure it and job done.
Yeah, the bit in the middle is a bracket..... I managed to get a used one from a breakers today for £10, but it doesnt have much life left in it. It will do for now.....
In the meantime, the search for a new one continues, might have to get it made, however I now have a set of spare bolts and the old pipe!

Nice idea, but the pipe was a write off by the time I got it off the bike. it was split, a couple of inches long!

I'm not saying you can't do this but my brother lunched an FJ1100 engine doing the same thing although it was for the oil cooler hose.

I just found this in my bits bucket outside. It has a couple of minor dinks which won't affect it's performance or life and with a bit of wire wool, would come up quite nice and shiny.
Joe - How? All you are doing is bridging the rust hole. The only reason to cut the pipe is to let you feed the rubber hose over as it wont fit over the banjos.
Obviously, the rubber pipe needs to be able to handle the temperature too.

Oil pressure blew the hose off. With a plain pipe there was nothing preventing the pipe from slipping off.
Had a chat with my local engineer today, he thinks there would be no problem using a flexible hose. He's going to remove mine and check what fittings would be needed to replace the stock items

Joe - You would obviously need to make sure the surfaces were spotlessly clean of oil and make sure the jubilee clips are tight. The pipe shouldn't come off if done properly.

The difficulty with using a flexible hose is that it's hard to control the route it takes accurately. There are lots of things it can rub against, some of them very hot.

I thought about the routing and heat from the exhaust, if you took the hose around the side of the block then down this would solve that issue, hose is cheap enough, fittings are the biggest expense. Hardest job for me would be making it look like it was meant to be there not just hanging off the bike.
The steady point for the existing pipe can be used to keep the new pipe away from most of the exhaust but you would have to be careful what angle the top banjo fitting ends up at and the curve of the pipe
