If you got coloured radiator hoses for only 24 quid that was cheap.

Think someone was selling sets on Ebay for 70 ish.

Is it a kit you've bought or pieced it together?

The ebay kits also include the smaller hoses for between the V, but compared to other kits I've seen they do look a bit overpriced. Pics pls!

not so much coloured, but overbraiding is a fairly cheap way to get something along the same lines



Cheers Mark.

The ones on Ebay for £70 are of a much higher standard than OEM ones, however they are costly and the OEM ones will cope with all maners of modifications to the SV (750cc etc).

They simply are not worth the money and are only for cosmetics
