Bike carbs

Does anyone know what that green hose is called and where I can get it for joining the bike carbs to the manifold,you know the stuff that Bogg bros use.I need some for R1 carbs ID 46mm.I tried silicone hose on my old setup but the carbs kept falling off.
While we are talking Bike carbs,do I need to do anything with all the pipes hanging off my carbs,other than the fuel pipe can I just let them hang,or should I blank some of them.

a wild stab, hmm 'manifold hose'?

try using contact cleener on the carbs and inside the hose. It should hold on better then.

There were several threads about carbs falling off due to the hose being attacked by the fuel vapour, not sure which type of hose was at fault, but I used this, specially for pertrol, sold by the 10mm.
