    They come stock on a DR650. Maybe look for a used one of those and make your own version.:thumbsup:

    I talked to Ty about it today. We can make one for you, not sure on cost as of yet.

    I'm doing that to my EE guards when I pull the tank to install silicone hoses. Do you think I'll need to take the braces off before I drill them? :D

    Did that. Wouldn't recommend it. Samco sent a defective hose and their customer service is non-responsive. ZipTy is trying to help in response to my customer service inquiries to them, but apparently Samco is non-responsive to them as well, so I am stuck with an unusable set of hoses. Not happy.

    You're not "Stuck" with anything. You may send them back for a full refund.

    Thanks. I was told earlier that I would need to send them directly back to Samco and would need to wait for an RMA from Samco in order to do that. Thank you for making things right. To help you recoup some of your cost, I would be interested in ordering a set of CV4 TC250 hoses through you if you are a dealer.

    No, we don't work that way at ZipTy, I stand behind every product. I am the highest level of management here, even over Ty. I appologize for not taking care of you faster.

    Enduro Engineering, with my cheese added. I am a believer (as are most race teams) in retaining the OEM rad louvers and EE retains them.

    PS I went to my local hardware store and picked up some rubber washers to raise the tank even further, so i have the alloy ZipTy spacers with 2 rubber (hose) washers on top of them, clearance is better. Funny now I can see the wear marks from my plastic onto my frame on the side, telling me my tank is higher.
    You can also see my hose doubler on the lower hose to ward off trail hack for added no DNF bullet proofing.
    You can see on the "water pump" spigot area where the tank was chafing onto the hose, the CV4 logo is worn at the chafe point.

    "Saw your photo's thanks for posting them"

    I had a look at my bike and there's a black plastic braided cover over the hose pipe and its tight on top of the red head , had your bike got the same protection or will this need to be changed to something better more robust hose.
    Just to let you know, When i got my bike the top banjo bolt on the right side came loose all the oil was pumped out without me knowing and completely ruined the engine, dont think it was ever tighten properly from new , However the damage was mostly covered under warranty , Was charged £270 build fee , Keep an eye on the oil pipe
