Hey everyone, does anyone have pics or first hand experience with either the Samco or DP hose kit as displayed in the following picture:

I've been considering this silly mod on my bike but would like to see some Monsters with it.
Any of you have pro's/con's on such a mod?
Thanks.
Here's some pics.

Not really silly, looks a ton better and the hoses will last a lot longer. The hoses are easy to install and should only take an hour max to put on. I would recommend getting all new high quality hose clamps to replace the stockers.

WOW! That looks great! The hose kit does not come w/new clamps? If it does not, which clamps did you use?
Also, is there any sort of prep work that needs to be done before removing the stock and installing the new ones?
Thanks.

No prep work other than draining the coolant. The easiest way to drain is to pull the largest hose and let it drain into a bucket. Then just replace the hoses one at a time.

thanks man! I took a look and they only have the blue ones :( I'll look around for the red set online.
Where did you get that shift lever?
