Title: Silicone coolant hoses
Post by: Dudeofrude on 25 April 2017, 12:29:45 am
Are they any better? I want to replace a couple of my standard ones as they are getting a bit tatty, so looking at buying a kit and swapping them all out if it's worth doing?
Is it a huge job or just an afternoon of tinkering?

"Look" tatty or falling to bits?


Just an idea but what about that Plastidip rubber coating spray as a livener? It's heat resistant, so why not?

Not a bad idea but a few are starting to bulge and some of the ends are starting to erode after the clips.

Bulging is not good, think I would be changing them out soon. At the end of the day when you do change them you know they will last a few more years so peace of mind.
Found these on ebay

Yeah they are ones I'm looking at from As3 racing.
Going for the black though, I contemplated red but from the pictures I found of bikes with them fitted i realised they're not for me haha
