Samco hoses for NC29

Post by sharky » Fri May 22, 2009 8:56 am

Are there any decent suppliers for these hoses ?? Most of the stock ones on wifes bike are rooted and Samco's must be cheaper than Honda's :o

Only found one (and that was on ebay UK).
Anyone recommend a supplier ? Don't want to end up with a dodgy chinese ripoff....

Well this has been a complete farce from the start...
Went to RaceBikeBitz.....and once I made them realise that they could not charge me VAT as I was not in the EU they ordered some up.....About 5 weeks later they turned up here....
Excitedly I opened the package....obviously their idea of 'complete' is different to mine. The 2 from the block to the water pump were missing as was the one that goes down around the starter motor.....as well as all the 1/4" ones to the radiator.... :down:
So I got on the phone...
'Oh yeah, They (samco) have updated their kit....We'll send out the extra ones.....Another 45 pounds please :wanker: (at least I got them freepost this time)

Got them today and......no 1/4" hoses...or hoses clips....so the wifes naked 400 still has a mix of black and purple hoses... :x

I have emailed them....I await their reply.... :fight:

Useless reply for racebike...so I rang Samco direct and spoke to Mark Smith. :worthy:
Bearing in mind they don't deal direct with the public...(you have to go through a dealer)....I have a 2m length of 1/4" purple on its way to me F.O.C. as a goodwill gesture. :up:

Jeez...its been a while since I logged in here..
Well the F.O.C. hose arrived 5 days after I spoke to Mark....so much for the Racebikebitz 'special order, 6 weeks mate'
Here's some pics of them fitted..
