radiator hoses - solorider - 01-04-12
as one of my hoses is leaking slightly so will need replacement and is £50 i am looking at a set of samco hoses which are £140 a set,but as the stock colour is blue so will be the quickest as i need them asap so will blue hoses look ok on a red bike?

IMHO you will regret it, buy the red tape (it fixes holes and splits and is waterproof and seals pretty good) from demon tweeks as a stop gap then order the red or black samco hoses.

slacken n slide jubilee out the way, wack the tape on and refit jubilee for a tad more than 10 english beer tokens its worth the effort

Anyone know the I'd of the bottom hose as I may be able to buy a length of hose as it is not to curved so should be ok with a straight piece of hose?
