Anyone ever come across a set of silicone cooling/rad hoses for a 3LN?

Or are there any other models with the same/similar setup?

This lot said they would make me a set if I sent them the old ones......but :whistle
if you send us the original hose we will make the silicone hose for you .
thanks

No way would I send my hoses, unless it's no big deal if they don't come back. They may keep the hoses and not make new ones. I use to go to pep boys with my hose and get some heavy duty hose. They sell it by the foot. I try to stay away from china products if I can, I have had very bad experiences.

Yea I wasnt too keen on sending them away....they are not much good and I dont want to re use them but if I didnt have them Id have nothing to go off to try and replace them.....I think Ill just try the industrial places here ...theres a couple specialist hydraulic hose type businesses here that have everything for anything :grinnod:

Find a parts bike and snag the hose, ship it off.

Tried the local hose experts but because a couple of the hoses in the set have different end sizes (on the same hose) u cant just use anything.I was hoping u could just squeeze the smaller diameter over the slightly bigger fittings but they said the right hose/right fitting is hard enough..... :duh:

Bloody Yamaha.....make the fittings all different so u have to buy genuine parts.... :shocker

I do have a second set of hoses but its missing the long pump to rad section.........

Back to the drawing board
