They appear to come down from the radiators on either side but maybe their brake lines? I want to replace them if possible, but struggling to come up with a name. The Honda Service Manual doesnt appear to have this area diagrammed. I found this crappy schematic at Partzilla but it doesnt show those tubes, would appreciate a link to a schematic showing these parts where I could order them..

That's for a 2000, but I think it's the same for all model years. Doesn't matter much as they're not available unless you can find another source. You'll probably need to find some on eBay. Just make sure they're clean as they tend to corrode/rust. The other option would be to replace them with another type of line, though I think you'll have trouble with the fitting at the oil cooler. I think at least one other member on here replaced them with another type of line before.

Reason: Because I can.
Since the Honda Service Manual doesn't provide a clear diagram, I recommend checking out more detailed service manuals or parts diagrams that might be available on sites like Honda's official parts website or even dedicated motorcycle forums. Websites like Partzilla or BikeBandit can sometimes have better schematics, so it might be worth searching there again.
