Coolant hoses

Post by Lostit » 08 Sep 2020, 07:48

Hi all I have a mk2

My coolant hoses have turned to mush, I thought I'd replace them while giving the bike a good once over. However they're shaped and cant find any sets available.

They're are sets for cr's would they fit. Any pointers would be good here

I bought one of the cheap silicone set's from China. There was a UK supplier when I got mine, but it doesn't look like there is now. The clamp's they come with are rubbish, but the hose's have been no bother on my bike for the last few years.

Failing that I have some used hose's that would get you out of a muddle, but they are only fit for temp use.

Is that the CR set thats advertised on Ebay, my concern is the bends are wrong, its hard to tell whether theyre right from the picture. not bothered about the clips.

Yeah, I've got the g-plus hoses too. They're fine apart from the aforementioned clips that come with them.

I made my own from a l or 2 metre length I purchased many years ago. Not once has any of them failed.

The heat will eventually shape them or you can assist with a heat gun (do with caution)
