Air box removal, F%&$"?

[The Mighty Gryphon]

K bike coolant hoses are nearly immortal.  I was the victim of a vehicular assault that totaled my K100RS that had 128,000 miles as well as the KIA sedan that attacked me.  Despite twisting the frame like a pretzel and pulverizing every piece of bodywork the coolant hoses were all usable when I put the engine in another frame and worked for another year and 10,000 miles until I sold the bike.

Hi Laitch, i'm with you on that, nice solution if you have a little space arround, but i was thinking that the diameter of the spring ( the interior) is the same that the ouptut plug on pressure regulator, so, my thinking was, is as the pressure regulator was 5 cm longer...so i accepted this method...
I've seen a vid that use this method for injectors, so i thought that for return, is less problematic...

But you are right anyway.

As my line is not original, so not bended, i find this solution a compromise.

Thanks for your opinion!

Now, i'm fighting with the big water hose, the one that passes into the engine......

Let us know how it works on the return side. Mr. Injector was working of the pressure side.

Regarding the radiator hose, warm it up with the hair dryer, fold it lengthwise and slip it through the hole in the crankcase cover.

jajaj, Mr Injector is in a more difficult side cause as you said is in the pressure zone!
thanks for the tip , i'll try.
I remember last time, with the same hose in 2009, i was perspiring like an attached pig.

Your relatively intact survival from the encounter was astonishing.  A photo of that wreckage should be posted here under the title, The Case Against Slowing Down.

Done!!!! 
Great, great idea. I even bring soap to apply and it was not necessary.
Thanks!
I am even able to go to a ball without taking a shower. Dry.

This is what old Moby Brick looked like after the larger bits were collected.  The debris field was about 75 feet long and 40 feet wide.

White car in the distance is the attacker.  You can't see the 1 foot deep indent in the front.

Oh Mighty, your story is a very good one, but the picture, my god.
You were injured as the bike?
I hope not!

But an applause to your water lines!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏

I was able, somehow, to walk(actually limp) away.  Lots of sprains but no broken bones.  Still have stiff neck and sore shoulder after 3 years.

despite everything, a lucky man.
So, the hoses and you survived.

[foliver]

And I also drain from the bottom of water pump, not the hose.

What a surprise, it's a pain in the ass to loose water, and for that cause, 1 in 3.000.000

The hoses that were my the bike when i bought it in 2009, were ok, but one has a little crack, and i change all of it.
Waiting for the original parts, i've found here, the same hoses, with the sames shapes....amazing.
So i used the ones i bought here, until today, that they were ok, but i'm dismantling all the stuff, so i decided to install the original ones.
I guess if i don't have an accident, they will last for ever ( for ever me, ja! )
