Agree with the red and gold but blue on blue is clearly the best option... and lets not forget it's the fastest combo!  :lol

To solve my problem of lusting after other peoples rubber I need to purchase a bike of each colour then bling up appropriately.
 
I may be developing a fetish  :evil

Were these kits just a one-off or can anyone buy them now? Took my radiator hoses off today to get to the downpipes, found they were mostly rotten and need replaced  :\

Bike looks so clean mate! Nice one and the pipes really set off the engine. Not too much colour but enough to make it interesting  8)
 
Awesome!

New Rad pipe leak
 
Just to let you guys know I was working on the bike and took a quick look in my radiator and noticed the fluid had dropped. I was not concerned at this point as my first thoughts were expansion tank but that was low also. So back to radiator filler cap where I noticed a slight leak on my large rad from filler cap to radiator. It was only slight and was last checked a week ago so check all your clamps especially if you purchased them from the rad people as I did. It was the only pipe I could not get my socket onto so goes to show how limp wrist-ed I is  :rollin
 
Be safe and check
 
Daz (ok unsure if its leak or leek, but no unconventionally shaped welsh onions were harmed)

Just to clarify, it's not a fault with the pipes, just not tightening the clips enough?

Keep an eye on it, if it still appears to drop fluid you may need a Radflush.

No Chris not the pipes at this point but I will be monitoring the situation. I would have missed it if it was not for been under the tank as I noticed how damp it was around the pipe top that indicated clamp check time. Then saw a tiny amount moister tricking down the pipe. It does look tight on this one though now.

Always best to check things over a few days after installing new parts to make sure everything is tight and if not then just nip it up a bit.
