Thumbs down Replacement water hoses from Busters?

Buster's have a sale on Motrax hoses, sv650 water hoses for £4.99 just wondered if anyone has these or has before and whether they make any difference to performance, cooling efficiency or aesthetics - positive or otherwise

silly me! Don't know why i thought they were! OP changed accordingly although not sure how to change the title

Anyone fitted aftermarket hoses and/or has an opinion on looks etc. at this price cant see a reason not to if only for a bit of colour!

The service schedule suggests replacement of water hoses at just 4 years, though I doubt many have this done. I also suspect a set of Samco silicone hoses would be no more expensive or maybe cheaper than a set of OEM Suzuki hoses.

Can you honestly feel ripped off if they only cost you a fiver instead of £75?
