Some of you guys might be interested in the above product - maybe not orange though

Orange you gonna buy some? I defninitely need to replace mine but that color is a little too much

I used their silicon hose to redo all the vacuum lines on my '62 a few years back. Nice stuff, its held up well. You don't have to get orange - I used black.

At least you would not lose track of what has been done and what hasn't been done.

I like the idea of putting a piece over the hood prop arm!

a little off the subject, but years ago i used to race motorcyle Endoro races uo and down the east coast. Some of the state racing chapters had minimum weights for the bikes. As a general rule, you would make you bike as light as possible. we had on guy whe had ( at that time rare) magnesium wheels. to make weight he used to put colorfull vac tubing on the spokes. Looked like a kids tricycle, but boy, could he ride.

I wonder which would last longer OEM or that stuff? Yota hoses have been know to last for 25 years...I wonder if they match up?

I replaced all my vac hoses with some stuff from autozone, looks great, have yellow and red, i'll post some pics soon.

Silicone will last a lot longer than rubba
