    Here are some pics of the SFS silicone hoses I got recently, A much bigger job than I first expected as I had to remove all the lower and mid panels and fuel tank etc to get access but looks great now I have finally got them fitted.

    I have however overfilled the reserve tank so any ideas on how to drain some off or advice on wheather it will rectify itself would be appreciated :)

    Looks very nice mate top job and fair play to you for getting it done, as the other say a small tube and syphon some off until the level is good again, after a quick ride check the level again..

    Love the red hose mate nice!

    Looking good Jamie.

    I was thinking of getting a set for my 07 in black so they looked OE?

    Are they worth the money for a road rider?

    What's the advantage to having them?

    SFS hoses are great! I've built a load of race bikes and put them on. All of our race bikes run them now. Not bad prices either.

    Cheers

    From google

    ''For the best looks and performance it has to be silicone. Silicone hoses operate at much higher temperatures and pressures than other rubbers, they don’t perish, and they look great. If you are tuning your engine and pushing it to its limit, you don’t want your hoses to let you down''

    but for me it was because they where RED and I thought they would look good :) lol
