I'm pretty sure I used 7/64 that I got from one of the big auto chain stores, probably autozone.
That's ID.

I pulled up in front of Advance Auto Parts, pulled the vacuum line off my Octy and took it inside. They gave me a new matching piece for free, since it was so short!
I have no idea what size it was, since they gave me 3 to choose from, and I just picked the one that was the closest to the original.

It's going to be a metric size and is also going to be the thin wall type. Most hardware stores and auto supply will not have it if you want the "real" stuff. Inside DIA is the measurement you need to know and it is 4.71 MM (.185 inches). It is not expensive and is available at jap bike shops if there's a shop close to your location. Sometimes you will see it on eBay in 3 foot lengths as well.
