I think it looks cool, but there has to be catch or they wouldn't make specific hoses for engine cooling...I would test it like 94Ninja250 said..make sure you get the bike hot and see what it does..if they don't split or collapse and restrict flow, then hey u just might have found something.

 

okrode my 20 mile commute to work today, half freeway at 70+ and the other half street. i got to work and left it running and revved it on and off for about 8 or 9 minutes looking very dumb i must say. the fan would not kick in so i dont know if my fans not working anymore for some reason or for some miraculous reason these stupid hoses actually work. im tryin my hardest but i cant get them to melt or leak, much like the stock hoses. but much cooler looking and cheaper if even for a temporary fix. ok ill keep tryin to get them to fail as i carry the stock hoses with me 4 the time being.haha i think my engine will go first, im almost at 24,000 miles.

I thought they would of failed after that commute. Do they feel soft and squishy once the bike warms up or do the seem to hold their shape well? I guess if they didn't collapse and the bike didn't run hot...they must be doing their job.
