New Rad Hoses or Covers.

[DieselGeek]

The search engine here is broken. I did try with out success.

I have seen pictures here of bikes with colored rad hose kits. Or with some sort of "chineese finger cuff " material covering the stock lines.

I am tired of failing at keeping the stock lines clean. Can someone, please, point me in the direction of a quality source of these items ?Thanks in advance . Norm .

samco makes some nice hoses, im thinking about getting a set mysefl
sick of these brown hoses

Prefer the look of the rubber vs the super-high-gloss Samco myself - personal choice.
Use a dressing to keep everything looking 'black'
Best product out there that will make your cases and hoses - and any other black surface (metal, rubber or plastic!) look fantastic is Silkolene ProPrep - amazing stuff.

I can't address the endurance or longevity, but the S100 product called "Engine Brightener" does a bitchin' job of making the brown hoses come Back in Black.

fwiw...

I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of Samco hoses.

Thanks guys, that Samco stuff looks great. But untill I am done school for the year I will have to run down a place to buy the Silkolene product DEcosse speaks of.

I don't have a great pic of the left side of the Triumph where all the hoses are - here is a pic of my TL that shows what a brilliant job it does on the cases and the hoses:



Here's a couple of my old T509 engine again with the Pro-Prep Treatment
