Not very difficult, just make sure you cover all close-by paintwork areas incase of accidental spillage. Not worth taking the bike to the garage for such a small modification.

It was M1kes CBR250 (one was cracked, spotted just before he was going to France touring) and Nighteyes CBR400 (one cracked in 2 places, no idea how it was still managing to cope with any pressure).

Looks like the new hoses have a clear heat shrink coating on them. Keeps them looking good for longer, and stops them sawing through anything they are touching.

All the best

Yep they have a clear coat. Thumbs Up


I decided to go for stainless as rusty ones will look rubbish especially when I have spent so much money trying to make the bike look tidy.

After about 6 months Razz

My Goodridges I got early last year have the plastic coating as well. Useful for the rear as it quickly gets covered in chain crap.
