i did have one last trawl through and found it last week. Bit expensive though so im going down the silicone route.

it's a triple hump hose to resist it becoming strained and cracking as the airbox is fixed to the body and the engine vibrates, use the original hose for the best result, a cheap silicon hose won't last long and will also transmit load to the plastic air box on top of the carb potentially causing that to crack which will negate the improvement gained by replacing the gaffer tape cracked one and cost you more money in the long term

I'd have the hump in triplicate if I was being shaken around too
