SAMCO Silicone Hose Set
If you havent heard or seen these check them out here... http://www.samcosport.com/usa/index.asp
The benefits of silicone coolant hoses are performance, looks, and longevity. I contacted Samco to inquire as to why there is no silicone hose set for the 14 or the 14R. They said it is a set they are considering creating but nothing is planned at the moment. However, they did say they would create a set under the following conditions:
1: pre order of at least 11 sets, me plus 10 other orders
2: complete set of new stock hoses sent to them for tooling purposes
I am willing to purchase and send them a complete set of hoses. They stated 10+ sets will justify their tooling cost. They mentioned preorders but did not mention down payments. I have not repled to their reply so I can only assume they may want some type of down payment. They say the turnaround time is approx 6 weeks. As to the price he said they could not quote one until they made a set. However I believe the ZX10R has 6 total hoses and retails for $260. If I remember correctly the 14R has 7 hoses plus the overflow drainage hose (not sure if they would count that in a kit or not). I realize this is high end stuff and not for everyone but I thought I would see what interest people may have.

I'd take a set for $260 -$300.
we get 9 others and they will make them.
money would be sent to Samco when 11 orders are identified, I presume.
Are ZX-14r rad hoses same as the old 14?
Do you know if ZX-12 hoses would work n a 14?
