im looking to replace the cooling lines that came with my b pipe. where can i find that stuff? i dont really like the translucent stuff from blowsion ect.

Just use fuel line from your local auto store or air hose from the hardware store.

Don't use the clear tubing from the hardware store though, it'll be hard as a rock in a couple months.

I wouln't recommend air line either, the clamps will end up squishing the rubber down and become loose.

Seriously? After the clamps have squished the rubber, I have to wrestle the hose to get the hose off the barb. There have been many busted knuckles removing my cooling lines over the years.

Try it with them at temp and it's a different story.

It's easier but it's not like they slide off with ease. I'm using the cheaper PVC air hose instead of the nice rubber stuff though because I had the PVC crap laying around after replacing it with something better. That could be the difference, not sure though.

thanks for the tip man! i found a role of blue airline at princess auto for about 25 bucks. with enough to do just about every ski i'll ever own! beats spending 20 bucks or so on that crappy blowsion stuff. at the end of the year it was all hard and discolored.
