Member Contributer sa1713 Posted March 14, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted March 14, 2014 With all of the excitement regarding the 3rd and 4th gen SAMCO hose kits, I inquired about a kit for the 5th gen. I got in contact with Richard Murphy at Racebikebitz who said they are willing to produce a kit for the RC46 5th gen and add it to their product line if there are 10 confirmed orders. I believe the kits will be similarly priced as the 6th gen kits, but the pricing will be confirmed once they have my donor kit. Richard also wanted me to let everyone know that the VFRD discount is active for all members on any hose kit they carry. The discount code is VFR750-15. I'm in for a kit, who else? 1. sa1713 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer vfrcapn Posted March 14, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted March 14, 2014 I just bought all the hoses for the 5th gen through Honda. I found the lowest price online then went to my local dealer and asked them to beat the total price. The final cost was $148, without tax or shipping. That included the small bypass, head hoses. Just FYI, for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer bigb Posted March 14, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted March 14, 2014 Good man, I hope the members 5th Gen owners support this thread as well as the 3rd & 4th Gen owners are supporting theirs.Kind Regards,BigB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer MBrane Posted March 14, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted March 14, 2014 Looks like Mr. Murphy has the potential to get even more of my money. That's OK I'm Irish too. Put me down for 2 kits for the 5th. I should snag one for the Duc too while the discount is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Oh yes please, sign me up for a kit. I recently acquired a '98 edition and thanks to this forum I have replaced the headers / muffler with a delkevic high rise kit and now I have made a clean spot. New hoses would certainly put some life back into the old girl and if this is the place to support such an endeavor all the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer paladinreed Posted March 15, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted March 15, 2014 I tried for a couple of weeks to get one of the Samco products for my streetfighter build to no avail. I finally had to go with a different brand. Glad you guys are having better luck. There wasn't too much support for the individual buyer. Great product they offer however.

keef Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Since I've got a front mount, I don't need a full kit. But if I should get the curved hose that goes around the front of the left side of the engine in silicone..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer gig Posted March 15, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted March 15, 2014 Will they reduce temp by a certain % Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer bigb Posted March 15, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted March 15, 2014 Hi MaxSwell/gig, When I removed the hoses from my 1994 4th Gen (27k Miles) to send them as template I found that the two short hoses at the thermostat and the short one at the water pump were in poor condition so it would be worth checking your own even if your not going to fit Samco.Samco state on their website that the engine will run cooler, all I can say for sure is that when I raced a 98 CBR 600 with a standard rad' I fitted a set and it ran about 5 degree cooler. I hope that helps, BigB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
