Ask MadMax. I think he fitted some to his, but had some issues with them..Don't know where he got them from though, but they were a pretty blue colour.

I've got the Samco hoses in my Busa. Never had an issue with them and no trouble in recommending them.
I paid about $260AUD delivered from a superbike shop in Britain.

I got a set of the silicone ones from USA, in blue, and love them, easy to fit, great finish... what more can you say, they work well, have them 6 month and still feel supple.
Strongly recommend.

I had the blue silicon hoses from a business here in Ozzie. he sourced them from the UK. From the time I put them on I could smell glycol - the smell of the coolant we put in the Busa. Thought I had pin-holed the radiator during the installation of the hoses. I bought Buce's second hand radiator but before I changed it out I decided to try something first. I took one of the Samco hoses off and found the material that is inside the hose had turned green - coincidentally the same colour of the glycol coolant! The more of the hoses I took off the less the smell I was getting when the bike was warmed up. I asked the local bike shop to make enquiries with the manufacturer for me, the importer f****d us around for months until he eventually said he would take the hoses back to the manufacturer in the UK (England). It had taken 5 months to get to here. I gave up and returned all the hoses to the bike shop for a full refund.
Not saying there is anything wrong with Samco hoses, just be aware that if you start getting the smell of burning glycol - where it's caming from.
