  2. Just fitted some nice yellow ones to my yellow shed 853R thing. Fit great and cheaper than Samco. SFS also do a cheaper range (around £60). SFS is HEL by the way.

  4. Can you justify that statement?. HEL based in Devon, SFS in Bedford.

    I bought a cheap set as per the ebay listing above and the quality was pants, nothing like Samco.

    Anybody got a direct comparison?

  5. I have just given you a direct comparison. the SFS performance is the same quality as samco. They allow water to flow at temepratures and pressures suitable for a coolant system in a motorcycle.

  6. The Samco prices, although still pretty high, have come down a little in the last year or so. Well that's what I found when I bought some earlier this year from Demon Tweeks

  8. I fitted SFS hoses to my CBR1000rr (11) and the quality was spot on, as good as Samco and fit was perfect, the price was £80 and I would of bought again, however, had not tried Samco so fitted them to the 1098 and there great also.

    I would just buy the cheapest of the two options next time :)

  10. Unless you are racing you don't need "performance" hoses. They have no relevance on road bikes other than being a pretty colour. Tarty......................

  11. Yeah mate, I don't need a 150mph road bike, but I've got one, and if I want to put tart hoses on it, I will, the same as I will clutch covers, fluid covers, pressure plates, double overheard flip-flops with reverse wang bars -
