Re: Rad Hoses - Chris - 27-02-13
Just another point to add is that anyone unsure of how to fit the pipes then please don't be put off the group buy. I'm sure one of our very helpfull members will make a video on how to do it. Alternativley the haynes manual will cover replacing the coolant and pipes and there is no diference to fitting oem parts when fitting these silicone hoses (Apart from the fact they'll look Awesome and last longer
) or at the end of the day if you'r not confident enough to do it yourself I'm sure a garage would do it for a small fee. Not a huge job so wouldn't cost you much. Coolant is often forgotten about by home servicers and even some garages can be a bit laxs about it so well worth getting it done!Cheers,
Chris

Hi Keith,
Just heard back from SFS, the price (£108 inc postage) doesn't include clips but he's going to send me a quote for kits including the the clips for those that want them.
Cheers,
Chris
Re: Rad Hoses - Dead Eye - 28-02-13
If anyone is near Chelmsford etc and would like a hand with fitting then let me know and I'll be happy to help
Least I can do after my plans fell through... currently living off of supermarket own soup, baked beans and bread...

Dead Eye, you are some kind of kindness hero and I hope that the karma picks up your luck soon mate 8)
Re: Rad Hoses - noggythenog - 28-02-13
Dead eye, not sounding too good geezer, but a man with a plan is always a man with another plan just round the corner.
plus, did you know that these hoses are also awsome as alternative soup sucking up devices
everyone's a winner in the great, grand, group, rad hose buy!!!

That's an expensive 9 piece crazy straw but a damn fine one none the less! haha!
Re: Rad Hoses - Dead Eye - 28-02-13
Yeah, ever since my previous Fazer burnt to the ground things haven't been going well... just lots of unexpected expenditures screwing up my financial plans. Buying the bike was my own damned fault though but I'm surviving just about
Hopefully March will go better and I can start paying off my credit card instead of burdening it further 
P.S didn't mean to hijack the thread haha
Buy these awesome kits people!
Re: Rad Hoses - Chris - 28-02-13
Right everyone!
The time is near and the order shall be placed very soon! I'm waiting to hear back the cost to add a set of clips to the orders and will be in touch with all those who have confirmed their orders so far to see if they want the clips or not and then the order will be placed!
I am going to be buying several kits to make up the numbers and these will be for sale as soon as I recieve them. I will however not be able to sell them on at the price I have bought them as I have some additional costs to cover. They'll still be cheaper than buying them direct from the manufacturer but not as cheap as joining the group buy! So if you want a kit then get your orders in to me NOW!
Cheers,
Chris

Hey hijacking the thread is my job!!!
Whatever you do deadeye don't have any bbq's this summer :b ,you should contact the x files-spontaneous fazer combustion mystery
,it mighta happened for a reason,perhaps the front sprocket was about to fly off on your next high speed ride & it going on fire saved your bacon,or perhaps i'm tryin to make you feel better 
,either way things happen for a reason & you'll soon be back on track man.I do believe we are now go go go for these hoses.
More buyers welcome before the cut off to save mine & chris's wallets.

Ah yes Mr Noggy is also getting an additional kit and will be selling it to the first million pound bid :lol
Was going to say if anyone is on the brink of an order but hasn't quite decided then PM that you're interested at least and let me know what colour you would prefer and i'll order my additional sets in those colours. thinking I'll probably get 2 extra blue and an extra black.

You know what they're so cool i might keep the second set so i can be close to them at all times,not as close as you're thinking though :eek :eek :eek
Chris i'm gonna put it out there, others please comment-i dont think the black set will be a good buy,i can't see anyone wanting the black,its so close to oem i reckon, just mho,dont want you stuck with a set you cant sell,you may know different though,prob still cheaper than oem if anybody 'needed' them but i still reckon they'd go blue or red.except batman,he'd have black,have you still got your big bat sign lamp??? :rolleyes
Re: Rad Hoses - Chris - 28-02-13
I would have thought the same but of the 6 individual people buying kits there are 2 blue orders, 2 red orders and 2 black orders
The black ones are not as flashy as the Colourful ones but they will be nicer looking than OEM and will obviously last as long as the bike 8)

Cool, shows how much i know,that's surprising
Who's got a black bike???i reckon a black bike with YELLOW hoses would look the cats tits
Batman would defo ride a fazer box eye wi yellow hoses to match his yellow bat sign & his yellow utility belt.
Re: Rad Hoses - Chris - 28-02-13
Haha, like I said I wasn't expecting any orders for black kits either. Not sure anyone has a black fazer but it'd look awesome. The black kits are for people who aren't wanting flashy hoses, just to upgrade what they've got regardless of the colour of the bike
Re: Rad Hoses - keithfzs1000 - 28-02-13
:rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin
would be interested in a yellow kit with stainless clips if they will fit the fzs1000
got a black fazer with yellow on and its being made naked so will look the dogs danglies i recon with these
Re: Rad Hoses - Dead Eye - 28-02-13
To be honest, I've always been a fan of black and red in combination. Helps that my custom desktop PC is a black case with decent red LED's modded inside - looks awesome at night

PM sent buddy. Unfortunately the kits will not fit an FZS1000. There are kits out there for the thou but SFS only have a kit listed for the later FZ1.
If this deal for the 600's goes well and the kits are half as good as expected then I'd be happy to organise another group buy for the thou section of the forum.

Reminds me of the interior of my A4 sport, was red dials and red buttons so at night it looked great, felt like you were in a fighter jet too. I have always prefered blue though. love the blue glow off my pc, and my led modded dials on the fazer 8)
Black and any colour kinda go well, you'll have to change your name to keithbumblebeefazer :lol
Re: Rad Hoses - bozboz - 28-02-13
I think that black hoses are a more understated, refined sophisticated look...ahem I've asked for black
Also its an easy choice if you dont know which colour you are going to respray yer bike!

A good point Mr Boz! If I was doing a streetfighter i'd probably be going for a stealthy look and would go for black. But because I'm not then I've gone for Blue, because it is... em... the same colour as my bike.. haha!
