Title: Custom silicone radiator hose kit DT350
Post by: Dragonh on September 18, 2021, 02:49:50 PM: Hi all, Got bored so I installed custom made silicone radiator hose kit(4 pcs) for my DT350. I also installed a silicone intake hose at the same time(bigger with better air flow) works well with the 40mm TB. Next mod are some 3 color LED headlight bulbs.

The hoses are custom made here in Taiwan.. Brand. Professional.... Not cheap thou.. You Can see the name on that intake hose too.

Our LIKE200i's have braided brake lines and the feed-back at the brake levers is very very positive! The brakes feel very powerful with even modest pressure on the levers.
Wish my Liberty had braided lines.

Grand Dinks/Vista models do have braided brake hoses. At least the one (150- 300ccm) here in Italy.

It's a gel like paste which I put just to stiffen that part up as the silicone hose is softer than the oem intake tube which has grooves on it unlike the silicone intake tube.. Basically I sealed it there for extra protection.. Great mod.. Can really feel to kick with this intake tube.
