    quick fix for split inlet rubbers on a GSX1100EZ


    this is REDMAN's fault he wanted me to put this photo here, don't know whether as a warning to look for shoddy workmanship,as a joke or a pratical tip if you get stuck. The inlet hose is from an auto suppliers and cost all of $2, 3 years and many runs in the rain later it is doing fine(and saved me $60 on a genuine part) okay it looks bad but then again so do I and I have to live with that as well!!!. johnny

        Hi,

        Really? That radiator hose has lasted 3 years being used as an intake boot? That's some pretty good hose. Nice find.


        Thank you for your indulgence,
