    Sweet...that makes the 10 minimum they required to get the project started! Richard from RaceBikeBitzUSA will be contacting you all soon, but to do so, I just need you to PM me your email addresses so that I may give them to him.

    Not sure yet. Today I did send him the pics from the parts catalog I posted to give him a better idea what we will need. We'll see what he says when he emails the people that wanted in.

    I'm interested, pending price. Gotta find room in the budget for luggage and hoses. :)

    For you and I Coffee... they will be for looks. But Silicone Hoses are more durable 10X as strong as OEM (OK...well maybe not 10X) and take away any concerns on failure.
    A must if you're racing.
    Did I mention they look good...:cheers:

    Silicone wont burst and wiull last a lot longer that conventional rad hoses. There are a bunch more advantages but really those two are the bigger ones for me.....

    ...but i gotta admit the bling factor attracted me first :busted:

    Hey all, in an effort to not cause any issue between the actual paying vendors here and the the owners/moderators of these fine forums....I am posting up the USA contact info for the Samco hoses that will be developed for our TR650's. This is the guy that I have been in direct contact with and will be sacraficing my TR for 6 weeks so that we all can benefit from their product.

    When you email him please mention you are being refered by Kevin Brown in regards to the development of the silicone hose set for the Husqvarna TR650.

    Here's an update from Scott @ RACEBIKEBITZUSA who will assist us.

    Jeff Kaylor from Hall’s will now be selling the Samco Silicone hosed kits for our bikes. Great guy. :thumbsup:

    None yet. I have sent my hoses to them for development (in the UK) and they estimate about 5-6 weeks until they have them for sale.

    In the mean time, I went to the dealer to buy a new set of OEM factory rubber hoses (80° temps here and it is killing me to not be able to ride !) and only two were in "in stock" (~ 1 week delivery) and the others were "availability unknown". I ordered everything anyways and the total from BMW was $85 USD.

    KB,
    See which ones they are and you might be able to get them thru BMW off of the G650GS. Go to maxbmw website, click on parts and you can see all teh microfische for the G650 etc. Hope that helps...
