Go with the clear 90's, you'll need one where the hose exits the radiator on the right and the little piece going from the water pump to the motor. It it looks better and is more durable and trcutworthy than a little old zip tie.

 

Places like McMaster Carr or Grainger would be more likely to have the tubing you need than home depot. (because they are industrial suppliers)

 

What do you guys mean by 90s. Is the hose acually a 90 degree angle, or are they connectors that you buy?

Also, is there anything that we can get for the "air brake" hose on the left side?

 

90's are plumbing pieces, I got clear plastic ones, bent at guess what, a 90 degree angle, to eliminate kinking of the hoses.

 

Just an update.. I blew up after one on my Home Depot hoses come off the head. I dont know what caused the hose to come off, but its blown up! the hose is fine, not spit, cracked, or anything. Not sure if I am going to keep running them at this point.. Just thought id let you guys know..

Thanks for the heads up. What do you mean by blown up, you did or your banshee?

 

I blew a hole in mine today![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

roostking, that sux!
thanks for letting others know about the hoses. Are they slippery and hard to keep on?

 

the hose just came off the head. Its not split, cracked or damaged in anyway.. I dont know if I could blame the hose or myself. I did check them both a few weeks ago and they were snug, so im just not sure.. At any rate, I think my Home Depot Hose experiment has come to an end. I have aluminum all over the place( big hole in my left piston) and it would not be so bad if I had more time on the bike, but this was only my second trip(although Ive been drag racing it all summer with no problems...) Just wanted to let you guys know..
