Since I am redoing the tank liner (kreme peeled) on my 2000 M750 - I've decided to replace the fuel pump, filter, lines as well. It needs to be done, while I've got the tank off seems like the time to do it.
I'm replacing the stock pump with the Mikuni fuel pump from CA-Cycleworks (http://www.ca-cycleworks.com/shop/catalog/ducati/fuel.html).
For the fuel lines, found a few options but not sure which is best or what I should go with (also don't know sizes, really need to get a workshop manual).
Was looking at these:

http://www.bikebandit.com/motion-pro-braided-vinyl-fuel-line (http://www.bikebandit.com/motion-pro-braided-vinyl-fuel-line)

Any thoughts? I know tygon is a good brand for lines, though the clear braided would be kinda neat.
For fuel filters, I want to go with a visible cleanable filter. Was looking at these options:

http://www.bikebandit.com/emgo-universal-fuel-filter (http://www.bikebandit.com/emgo-universal-fuel-filter)
or
http://www.bikebandit.com/golan-peak-flow-fuel-filter (http://www.bikebandit.com/golan-peak-flow-fuel-filter) <-Not visible, but from what I can find looks to be a good filter.
http://www.bikebandit.com/visu-filter-large-capacity-90-degree-fuel-filter (http://www.bikebandit.com/visu-filter-large-capacity-90-degree-fuel-filter) <- Not cleanable, but cheap and the 90* might be easier to fit.
So, any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated. [thumbsup]
Hmm, no one has replaced fuel lines?? :P
All of those fuel lines seem to be sold in 25 ft. rolls.
The sintered brass filters don't usually flow well enough.

Yeah, but they are pretty cheap for a 25ft roll...so no biggie.
What about the screen filters like the Emgo Universal? How much flow does a carb'ed monster need?
Screen type filters don't filter small enough particles to suit me. Why not find which of your local auto parts suppliers carries clear plastic paper media filters. They are really cheap and have a large capacity. Then you just replace it. If you ever even need to. Filtration is usually 10 to 25 microns.
