MIABanshee Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 I just rebuilt my whole engine and installed a set of woco clear rad. hoses. I have T5s and the hose rubs the pipe and I was wondering what I should do to keep the hose safe. Also I seem to have a slow leak from somewhere around the head / cyl area. What could cause this? Thanks guys Quote

Thanks guys 309212[/snapback] You might PM BansheeGuyIV, he put some on and wasn't impressed. Something about the hose splitting or something. I would do a search on it, it was a recent thread. I just put on some of the stainless flex hose and it works killer. You can route that stuff around your pipes and it will stay where you put it. May look into something like that if your interested. I have a thread in the images section on it somewhere. Probably 2nd page. Quote
Klotzban1 Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 Glad you brought that up MIABanshee! I was thinking about putting clear radiator hose on my shee. Its a killer look! I wonder if different companies who sell them use different poducts to make the hoses. Quote

I really havent been able to test out how they work yet because my bike isnt running right yet... but im happy with them so far. Quote
NugShee Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 Well after you right her hard a few times check them over and let us know how you like them. I have been thinking about getting them but they just dont look sturdy enough. If they work for other guys then Ill get a set Quote
fromygod Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 yea stay away from clear rad hoses, WOGO are junk in my opinion(don't know of any other brands). Oh sure they look great, especially if u color the anit freeze to your bikes color scheme. i used to run them, till the long one split and left me stranded in the woods. same thing happened to to my buddy on his yfz 450. theres nutin wrong with the stockers, especally if u plan on getting those aluminum inline coolers. also with ur leak be sure it inst at the hose connection, mine had the nasty habit of slipping off Quote
kenr74 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 I just picked up some hot water reinforced clear hose from Lowes. It's about $2 a foot and has been working fine so far. Quote
Hightempsilicone Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 I am playing around with the idea of making some silicone hoses for the banshee. Now that I have one here I can play with the design a little bit. I made some for the YFZ already and they look good. Once I get the sizes down, I can whip these out in red, blue and maybe some metallic colors like silver! Quote
