Silicone Hose Kit

Post by Spacehead »

Evening all,

Having spent the last few days over in the IOM the time has come to dust off the storm and carry on the rebuild I started a few years ago.

Among many many other things, I "think" i many need to replace the hoses, bike has been stood around either indoors or for most of last year outside and a cursory look at the hoses this evening some seem perished. Rather than chance and find some need replacing later i want to swap them all out.

Essentially, do I buy a Silicone hose kit for about £100 or replace with standard items and anyone know of a standard kit I can buy?

Thanks

I redid one of my VTR in all new rubber OEM hose, no kit was available at the time.

I have since used Silicone on my current VTR and Silicone on a customer/friends VTR

I tried the Ebay cheapies , we used SAMCO for his. Both worked though the ebay ones needed to be trimmed to fit well.
