Aprox. how many feet of fuel line do I need to replace all of my hoses?

I think Canniboomer sells a kit with all the fuel lines already made to fit

Getting ready to make the switch. I never thought much about the line in the tank.What is the best line to use inside? I have priced submersible hose,but I heard that viton will work.

Dave does have a lot for the fuel lines-I put it on mine, it comes with pre bent inlets and new line for the fuel system w clamps for like 25$. Well worth the $

I thought it was more like $150.00.

Let's face it, I am frugal(CHEAP).
I have been looking into buying enough fuel injection hose to do both bikes. On e-bay I can get some hose for fuel injection for $20.00 for 15 feet. Others are like $6.00 a foot. One in particular was a Gates 4219BF. It was very reasonable. But when I looked up it's specs,It said ..."It is designed for virtually any engine application that?s equipped with a conventional carburettor"
How can fuel injection hose be designed for a carbed bike? Are they talking throttle body?
Will this hose work?

Mark, It's not that your cheap. Dave has good stuff but it tends to be expensive. After all he's selling parts to make a living. It's always a good idea to shop around for the best deal . I do it all the time. I guess that makes me cheap, so be it.

Ordered enough fuel line and clamps to do both bikes. I get Christmas daily.
Next thing is to send the forks off.

FYI, I used approx. 5 feet of 1/4" fuel injection hose, and 2 feet of the tygon for inside the tank. I am expecting a leak or 2, cause I really had to twist and pull to remove and install.
