    Hi All,
    These are silicone coolant hose kits.
    I can't have multiple colours because the batch sizes are too large.

    You can have it any colour you want, as long as it is black :)

    I reckon if you want a different colour, then put a sleeve over it, like a heat-shrink or thin-walled rubber hose, or that mesh stuff they use as protection on rub points. Are any such products readily available?

    Make them clear... then you could see how bad your coolant is... :) or alternatively they would then be whatever colour your coolant was.. Green for most of them, there are some red ones out there and then there is the "Rust" colour found in may older water cooled bikes lol
    Actually doesn't worry me.. my current bikes are Air Cooled, much simpler :)

    Are you being funny Andy? You would not be able to see through the reinforcing even if the silicone was clear.

    Yep, I was joking.
    It would have been a good idea other than the drawbacks

    Samples would not be ready for at least 6 weeks. Then they have to be tested for fit. If you want to sell Chinese hoses then go ahead. I cannot compete with Chinese prices and have no intention of doing so.
