I went to local Honda Shop, and I ordered the hose the runs from the bottom of the left side of the airbox to the catch tank above the swing arm pivot. The hose that arrived is a correct fit but red in color, is this the correct color ?

No...I have never ordered one from Honda but I know they originally didn't come red. I would go to the hardware store and do some looking if I was you.

That hose does show as available from Honda. I'm sure it was NLA for years prior. The original was pretty clear, turning yellow/brown with age. Your pic does show the correct shape hose, but red? - really?

Guys pay big bucks to get custom-coloured hoses for their cars. That red hose is probably made of better materials than the original, and it does look faster.

It is the correct hose, it starts out a larger size to fit the nipple on the airbox and then shrinks down to a smaller size to fit the smaller nipple on the tank, and it is the correct length, no cutting needed.

It looks good in red !!
Surely you have seen the beautiful blue rubber stops for the '79 exhaust
