okay im looking at getting a set of silicone hoses in the uk, however theres a problem. As far as im aware samco dont do a set for the fz6, there is however chinese ones on fleabay for around £50, has anyone any experince with them, whats the worst case senario if they failed? aslo if anyone knows of any companies that make quality hoses for the fz6 please could you share. Its not for preformance i just love the look of those blue hoses mmmmm..

I replaced my hoses at the start of the year, though my mechanic order them. They were OEM ones.
I'll try and remember to ask him on Monday.

Probably better if I said I think I was given the choice of colours but I've got a black bike so wanted them in black.

I'm sure I read someone buying longer pipes then cutting them to length.
