[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 125723, member: 98"] well ...on the wire filled hose as stated will not make a good choice as connector hose especially if it has to bend ... when this was being debated a while back i tried to say everyone was making to big a deal out of this for connecting hose ....on my bike there is very little exposed hose to the gas charge...the radiator hose has been on my bike for quite some time ...i have seen no problems with it ....job number one is to have no leaks ....people who are not even doing this work at all were voicing there opinions about hose rating as if was super important ....this is what led to using the wrong hose for connectors ... its not made to bend as much or seal as good as other hoses ... i am going to use some wire hose soon but i have worked with it and know it is great to use if it is strait run ... and that what i am going to do with it ..... i dont see the radiator hose failing me but if it does someday ill replace it hooch is sealed tight with no leaks ... has plywood involved ...cereal box and rubber gaskets ... that i am going to replace with leather gaskets ... so you might say i dont care much about product claims and that BS crap ... and i do all my own testing as are all who are brave enough and confident in there ability to do for them self ,,, you have to watch out for the nay sayers that are not doing this work ... there opinions are empty :thanks: [/QUOTE]
