When I first brought my new bike home 6 months ago, it had an issue with bad gas which fouled the plugs, leading to fuel burning in the catalytic converter. Until the problem was fixed, the catalytic converter got very hot - so hot, it melted the crankcase breather drain tube that runs down to the bottom of the bike near the center-stand (right between the catalytic converter pairs on the '14 DLX).
So my crankcase breather tube is about 4 inches short and I'd like to replace it.
Went to Honda dealer, and he can't get it. He tried to order it, but what he provided was not the right sized tube. When I go to the online Honda parts store, it shows this:

Anybody know where I can get a replacement for my melted crankcase breather tube?

It is basically bulk tubing with a plug in the end. If you can find the origin point, just remove the old one and make a new one out of tubing, adding the required 4" and reinstall. There isn't really anything special or specific to it.

That is what I found as well 8X12X140. What I take from that is 8mm inside diameter, 12mm outside diameter and 140mm in length.
I would think you could go to the local parts store and find something that would work if you bring the old piece in with you to compare it to. I would try the small engine fuel line to start as that is what this most resembles.

ask your dealer to check his Honda parts information bulletins for a new bulk hose listing part number for emissions qualified hose . now days any fuel related hose or fuel tank is made of a special material that does not breath fumes to meet CARB and federal regulations. his parts info may not be as up to date and the new hose material is listed on his Honda parts information bulletin.

OK guys, really good info here. I was wondering if the numbers on the part listing had anything to do with size.
Also, excellent point on the emissions qualified hose, and any potential parts bulletin - I will follow up on both of these.
Kmoney, Randy and Paul - thanks a bunch for the assist. I'll see what I can find out on this.
