Those look great DBfazer600!
Do you mean the chunky one at the top right hand side of the radiator is a bit short? have any of you other guys had a problem with that??
Cheers,
Chris
No its the thin long one. Had to re-rout as original is cabled tied to the chunky one.

Ok, I see that Cai's doesn't look quite as tight as yours and he has it coming down behind the other pipe at the carb end, maybe that'll leave it a bit more slack...
Chris
You could always do what i did by mistake & use it as the resorvoir overflow instead.
Still looks good.
I would say that though wouldnt i
How did you get on with the chunky one above it that goes to the filler spout.....i would have rather stormed a german foxhole than try that again ......the filler end was tricky to squeeze up enough & get purchase with the clip, i kept tightening the clip on the soft bit just below.the fairing was always in the way too.
As I took off the original I simply lined it up the same but put clip half wa down pipe. I did this after fixing other end to radiator. I Had problems with the small hoses to radiator so I took it off fixed one hoes to radiator and other to bike then its a push on. Fixed the hose to the small metal pipe (one that is shown to haave broke in Cia photo) Had Bro to help with this part. I also drained the reserviour by disconecting the hose at the radiator side as this stops it pissing all over the bike.

Hey daz,some good pointers there,coz im back to front i prob had less hassle wi the rad pipes than the bigger ones
,by less i still mean lots but just not so much
.
Not trying to be funny but im a bit curious abouthow you drained the resorvoir through the rad.do you mean through the power of suction?
As far as i could tell looking at the resorvoir, the lowest part was the dodgy hose i couldnt get to, i was tempted to just rip it off in a fit of rage but as you say the coolant woulda gone all over the swing arm etc & made a royal mess,i of course sooked it out with a pump via the filler cap,how did you manage it, was it as simple as sucking through that same hose??????
