This is a part of the Bijur lubrication system. The tubing is really
tiny, maybe 1/8" OD. It is used to deliver oil to the head.

When disconnecting the head, I may have pulled the tube too hard and
that's the result. It tore off.

What sort of connectors are used in those and how would I fix it once
I get it home?

It'll be either 1/8" or 3mm. The compression joint will have a brass ferrule
around the pipe. You should be able to get them from somewhere reasonably
local (my supplier is on the wrong continent for you). If all else fails, you
can turn them up out of a piece of 1/4"-3/8" brass bar in a few minutes,
