Has anyone toyed with the idea fitting that imitation stainless hose "stuff" with the plastic anodised (usually red and blue) ends.
A lot of car guys use it and sold at super cheap (cheap).Always thought the rubber hoses looked a bit unfinished.
Have looked at it a few times but wondered if it would hold the heat in,and there's the look factor.Sometimes i think it would look fantastic,the next
day cack. Smile Mad ?

What do you think?

I'm not sure what you mean, but I certainly think that gold braided lines (real ones) look brilliant, not to mention help with braking.

It goes OVER hose's to make them look like braided lines (Silver).Comes in a pack with about 3 sizes, cost about $60.
I'd give it a go but not working at the moment so having to watch the $. There's the heat question also ?

Looks like.

Radiator Hose mmmmmm not the cheap shit for boy racers.
but
I'd like to see the colored rubber ones on eBay on a bandit first, b4 I'd buy them.
I think they would look good, I don't think they make a kit 4 the GSF tho.

Thats the stuff.Saw some at a swap meet,$20 should have bought it to see how it looked.

There is better quality stuff available but its a love ,hate thing and i'm not sure where i stand. Do you think it would retain the heat?
