【SAMCO SPORT】Coolant Hose (Radiator Hose) Review
Happy to keep you riding, be careful with the torque management.
This is an imprint used on a 1990 CBR400RR (NC29).
It is a Racer replica that has reached the level of the old car, except for universal parts. Exclusive Design parts are often no longer available from the Manufacturer. The Radiator hose is no exception, and unfortunately, it is no longer possible to get a very good idea or to use a good quality hose. It's impossible to repair with OEM PartsOnly if you don't have the patience.
My NC29 also has a lot of pressure from the seams near the Thermostat. The Coolant was leaking and troubling, but the Material from SamcoSports:When I found out that Silicon's Radiator hose is lined up, I repaired it this time I bought it as a
Material for use:I did some preliminary research on Silicon's Radiator hose and found it to be an inexpensive The ones that aren't as good may have difficulty sticking together and may be more prone to leaks than OEMHose, and other concerns. I've seen a few descriptions, but in my case it's better than continuing to use 30 years of deteriorating OEMHose I waited for it to arrive, hoping that it would.
As for the Hose of Samco Sports, the coloring is also various, and the Custom element is strong, and it is difficult to get lost in the But I want to build it simple with silver and black color around the Engine. Order the Black. By the way, the standard color for Samco Sports is Blue.
Webike says it can take as little as 2 months for delivery, but considering the current situation, I thought it might take longer. But it arrived earlier than expected and in a little over a month. (By the way, I heard the delivery time differs depending on the color.
When I checked the product I received, it seems to be almost a handmade product, but I have no complaint about the construction It was a good finish, with no results. Tentatively assembled on the vehicle, at least for the NC29, it faithfully reproduces the complex shape of the OEMHose and I was interested.
I actually did the actual replacement of the Hose with Self, but the old Motorcycle Eighty percent of the work for the radiator hose is to remove debris from the coolant that has adhered to the hose, hardened, and seeped through. It was a medium-sized Large strange in Especially Full Cowl's Racer replica is the one where weight reduction and Small Type is the most important. Because it is a large thing, the maintenance is bad, and it had a lot of trouble. Even if it is simply called the replacement work of the Radiator hose, the smallness that accompanies it Packing and Seal should be replaced at the same time, because it is not a workload that can be completed in a short time by a layman. If you don't have confidence or can't get a maintenance space, I think it's better to ask for a PRO.
Assemble it, put in the Coolant, bleed the air, start the engine, and see if there are any operation errors. Check. After confirming that there is no problem, further tests will be done at a later date. We raise the water temperature at high speed and on a congested road, put a load on the WaterLine and check that there are no leaks or seepage. I was relieved to see that the repair work was safely completed after about 300 km of driving, although I was on the edge of my seat.
I can't speak to durability in the long run, but I will continue to regularly check out the Hose Band's If you can manage Torque and check the seams, it seems to work fine. It's really nice that they make old water-cooled Engine motorcycle parts like this. Thanks. I'd like to fix it with the OEM Product if possible, but I'm relieved that I'll be able to keep driving it for the time being.
Well, we tried the Radiator hose from Samco Sports this time, and we have no complaints! It's not the reason.
Price
Although I feel the goodness of construction in the Handmade products, I feel that 40,000 yen for a set of Horse is quite high I did.
Delivery time
It's a handmade product that is manufactured overseas, so I feel like I can't blame you for the month-long wait, but I'll be back in a minute. It was a bit of a shame that it couldn't be repaired in
No Instruction Manual
Replacing the Hose can be done with no problem if you replace the Hose with 1 pc each of similarly shaped Hose, but the NC29 It was even better if there was a lot of hose, because the confirmation process is quite a lot of work. Well, it was not troubled even if there was not.
The above is a long story, but overall I am satisfied with it. We want to. We believe this desire is common to all motorcycle enthusiasts. We have a manufacturer who makes parts for old motorcycles in this way. I can't help but feel grateful for the fact that

Samco Sport Hose Kit for Honda CBR1000RR 2017
I have had these Samco hose kits before, I think due to my age, I have always gone for a more sedate colour. This time however I have a lovely Honda CBR1000RR with blue accents and the blue hose kit seems to be a pretty close match to go with this scheme. Last time however, I forgot to buy the additional hose clamp kit, not this time, both purchased together. In this order I had a few other parts. My order and all shipped by EMS. Arriving in 5 days and nothing was damaged. The hoses are a really cool set, the blue is a gorgeous colour, very striking is far brighter than I thought they would be. The curves set in the hoses fit perfectly with the bike and are basically, an exact match to the OEM hoses. No messing around, just a straight swap and off you go. They have a good amount of flex and as I said, the shape of them is perfect. The bike looks a stunning specimen and really stands out with these hoses on. Brilliant job, thank you Webike. View detail
Samco Sport Hose Kit for Kawasaki ZX6R 2018
Although I have had these Samco hose kits before, I have always gone for a more sedate colour. This time however I have a yellow bike of a customers that they had resprayed and wanted a yellow set of hoses. This was with a few other parts in my order and all shipped by EMS. Arriving in 5 days and nothing was damaged. The hoses are a really cool set, the yellow is far brighter than I thought they would be and was worried the customer would not like them, totally wrong, the customer loves them They have a good amount of flex and the shape of them is perfect.

Although expensive.
While the engine was being dismounted, the radiator hose was replaced to change the color of the exterior.
I have not run the car yet, so I don't know the effect yet, but I have been running external radiator hoses since before the replacement, so I don't think the effect will be much different.
Hose Band can be diverted from OEM, but replaced with one from the same Manufacturer. It looks good.
The price is high anyway, due to the fact that it is made overseas and is a limited edition color.

Selected Classic 95 TRX
The OEMHose was swollen, so I replaced it while parts were still available! (^^)
I would have preferred a shiny color, but since only Classic was available in stock, I chose Classic.
The color is similar to OEMHose and more expensive than other colors, but the result is austere and satisfying.
The fitting can be installed without any problems or modifications and seems to be durable enough.

You made the right choice with the color Blue!
It was great!
I could not find the Blue color and finally purchased it! I felt that it was harder, thicker and stronger than OEM and I thought that the hose would not swell even if it was heated to high temperatures.
Please do not refer to this as it is the personal opinion of an amateur. (Lol)
The OEM hose clamp on the pump side was the limit for closing it, but I managed to close it.
I'm happy with the way it looks Parenthesis!
