Clear Black Breather Hose

The price is somewhat high, but the quality is excellent.It's a translucent product, so it's good to be able to check internal contamination.

About quality and texture - The 8mm breather hose from SP Takegawa is made from a soft rubber material with reinforced strands featuring a clear finish and the quality from the overall fit and finish is perfect. About the feeling of use - The 8mm breather hose is perfectly sized for engine breathing applications when connecting to the factory barbed hose fitting and the majority of other breather system barbed hose fittings, like on my Honda Monkey 125 but is only to be used with air systems and not oil or fuel. Products to buy together - The 8mm breather hose does require to be firmly secured to the hose fitting, the use of zip ties is not my preferred method as a permanent solution so the use of specifically sized 13mm hose clamps from SP Takegawa is what I would recommend. Difficulty of installation - The installation of the 8mm breather hose is a simple task that took 0.5 of an hour to complete. Some slight mechanical aptitude and the use of a measuring device, cutting tool and sandpaper to neatly finish the hose ends off is how I like to carry out the task for my breather hose fitment. Cost performance and comparison with other products - I find the cost of all the products SP Takegawa sell to be on par when compared to what most other companies sell their products for and the 8mm breather hose is no different. A reasonable quantity of 1m with no lapse in quality. About shipping and packaging - With there being no cost difference between sea freight and EMS for the 12mm breather hose, I chose EMS for a earlier arrival date. The part was extremely well protected while being covered in bubble wrap and surrounded with air pillows in a sturdy cardboard box. Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing - For my location, purchasing common use products like this from Webike Japan is the best option even when taking into account the shipping cost, as I find local stores tend not to stock products I can use on my Monkey 125 or they are priced higher the majority of the time.

About quality and texture - When new the quality is excellent and I really like the clear finish as it fits in well with the polished oil catch tank.About the feeling of use - Now after 18 months of use I am disappointed as the clear sections of hose are starting to turn yellow in partsProducts to buy together - If you have the money I would recommend getting a hose cutter, Neofactory have a nice looking one here, product # 016482.Difficulty of installation - Easy to install the hose but I find cutting the hose very difficult to achive a nice finish as I do not own a hose cutter, a stanley knife does a poor job.Cost performance and comparison with other products - Takegawa price this hose a little more then other clear hose available on Webike and I was hoping they would not yellow like the others but that is not the case.About shipping and packaging - Combined sea freight order was priced well and arrived in 8 weeks to Australia. No damage to any of the products due to the excellent packaging.Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing - If you have any concerns about the clear hose yellowing just buy black breather hose like I will have to in the future as my hoses continue to get worse.

I used mostly this eight millimeter internal diameter clear breather hose made by Specials Parts Takegawa for my oil catch tank installation on my Honda Monkey 125. A tip to get nice clean straight cuts after measuring the lengths of hose required is to line up the supplied hose clamps where you would like to cut then use a razor blade to cut down the edge of the hose clamp. I have had this hose in use on my motorcycle for around 2000 kilometers now and the clear oil resistant hose has no yellowing so far which I am very happy with. Good price and comes with two hose clamps but you will most likely need to purchase a few more which can also be found on Webike.

Hose I used for Breather pipe has been replaced since the year has come..
I also like the color subtly Smoke very much
This is enough because you can not buy Stainless Mesh Hose
