1. You owe it to your bike...
You owe it to yourself and mostly your bike to get these Samco hoses. Why spend all the time, money, and effort to ride or track your bike only to be let down by a cooling issue?
I've started prepping a Ducati for track duty and this is one of the reliability mods I'm doing. Compared to the old stock hoses there is no comparison. The silicone Samco just out class and out perform the old rubber. These maintain form better and don't degrade like the old rubber ones.
If you care about looks, these definitely make your bike look cooler when it's parked at Starbucks. ;)~
Lastly, if you buy these hoses be sure to purchase the Samco clamps. Don't ruin your purchase by clamping these with cheap clamps that'll damage the hoses.
