Fit is awsome they are molded exactly the same as stock and the kit comes with every hose to replace the stockers, they should last forever being silicone.
The optional SS clamps are a waste tho the stockers are better quality.
When I ordred mine the only colour available was red but they can get others.
Its dark outside so I'll snap a pic tomorrow.

The bursting pressure is A LOT higher than stock also silicone lasts longer and resists swelling.

I'm just busting your balls brudda.
But seriously, about silicon hoses, they may cost the consumer some bucks, but they are cheap like a Barstow hooker to make.

Really? Thats a trip Ive always thought silicone was more expensive to make. I remember getting a set of hoses for the intake on a turbo honda, they cost a small fortune for what amounted to 8" of hose.

They offer the clamps so you don't pinch the hoses in standard hose clamps. I have a set on my VW and am glad I got the clamps - managed to mangle one of the ends. That and the connections have to be clean in order to stay put once tightened down.

That makes perfect sense, I used the clamps from the kit on all but the lower rad crossover connection and I noticed them digging into the hoses.

Anyone offering those in the US where I won't get burned by the weak dollar? My bike looks nice, and I like it that way. I also need new hose, so given the two desires I'd drop up to $50 for something like that, couldn't bring myself to do $100 or more though.

Just to save you the time, CV4 said they don't have enough requests to make a set for the CR500.

Needed some trimming to fit. If you want to take your chances there's chinese silicon hoses on the UK ebay for $60 or so depending on the exchange rate......................
