Quality is high, but care must be taken with Size
[How is it used?
I wanted to install ACTIVEStraightOil cooler on XJR400R, but I did not like the color of the mesh hose. For some reason, there was a Round Type with a black mesh hose, so I decided to install it as a DIY project.
How was your experience with it?
It functions well as a Heat Shrink Tube. The shrinkage is also relatively Smooth, so it is good in terms of quality.
How did it compare to other products?
It is just a Heat Shrink Tube, but it is colored to match the heat resistant hose, so it is more black than other manufacturer's products.
As for the price, I think it is a little high, partly because it is ACTIVEBrand.
Inevitably, I had to buy more, which was a moderate expense.
[Points to note]
StraightOil cooler was #6, so I bought this one #6 as well, but it was a mistake.
The Heat Shrink Tube is passed through the heat-resistant hose from the top of the mesh hose after the fitting is removed, but the hose is too exact and does not pass through properly. If you try to force it through, the mesh hose will get frayed and it will be a large disaster.
I thought it would be easier to buy #8Size because it shrinks when heat-shrunk.
I used a 19Φ made by DAYTONA in combination with the 19Φ and was able to pass it through the mesh hose without getting caught.
It would have been nice if the manufacturer could have provided a little more information about this area, but I doubt that many people would install it as a DIY project in the first place.
