I used 10 of these to replace the ones on my motor bike.

Yeah, for some reason they already have those on the cooling system
but not on the fuel (or vacuum)?

And I quite like them as my Leatherman pliers can open them easily,
unlike the little loop ended clips.

I might get a quantity of the smaller sizes of those and give them a
go (I've got one of those remote fuel tanks you hang up like a saline
drip and that came with some wire screw clamps that are not only ugly
but do catch your skin and get hung up on stuff easily (so weren't
used). Even a couple of thin cable-ties wrapped twice round the pipe
are better than those sort of things (and easier to release than the O
/ 'ear' clips).


They fit well on my fuel hose,( no one said, what, 10)

I imagined the range. ;-)

Tank, two tees one each side, (equalizer) carbie.

On this (Kawasaki ER-5 A1) it's two fuel hoses from tank to tap, out
of tap to fuel filter, out of filter to carbs (T'd off on the carb in
rigid). Two equaliser hoses to T and T out to air. Numerous coolant
hoses, inc 2 to expansion tank and main hoses plus the manifold to
vacuum operated fuel tap.

In fact the whole thing is a plumbers nightmare! ;-(

Apart from the YP250 scooter, all my bikes are air cooled and much,
much simpler. ;-)
