Since my radiator needs replaced I had another go at getting in touch with SFS about silicone hose kits.  I made a guess at the email address of the person in SFS that was helpful last time to see if they still have the patterns/tooling from last time and this is the important bit of the response I got back within 6 minutes!

I would suggest that you send me a set of original hoses. Upon receipt of the samples I can try and cross match them with existing tooling, and produce details kit costs for you.


I hope to get the hoses off my bike this weekend to send away and will let you know when I hear back from SFS and if there is a minimum quantity that has to be ordered.  SFS are selling other bike kits with 8 hoses for £125 to £135 so I would expect the FZS600 kits to be a similar price.


Post here if you are interested in a kit.

Another year another MOT.  Passed but with 4 advisory notes
1:  Front brake pads near minimum limit - new pads have been sitting in the garage but not fitted for the last year so no argument there
3/4: Rear shock misting/reduced damping a bit disappointed since the Hagon has only done about 15,000 miles but at least it's rebuildable.
but number 2: Brake lever is short but brake can still be readily applied.  Since it is working without problem why is it an advisory?  Not really bothered but seems odd to put it in as advisory
