Last year I was at Fleetpride in Buffalo NY. I think they are all over the
US. They have a really nice set of hose clamps, the screw kind that are very
heavy duty and very expensive. I now use those when I have any doubt. They
work great. I forgot the name of them. They had them on the counter.

Hi Bob,
Thank you for your response and suggestions.
Actually I just realized that clamp technologies have moved ahead a great
deal
in the last 20 years and the screw-type clamps probably are inferior (e.g.,
tend
to chew into the rubber, do not clamp evenly around the circumference, are
difficult to access in many tight areas in a water-cooled performance
motorcycle, are bulky, look unsightly in exposed areas, etc.).
I was just hoping to reuse the original clamps or something similar. I
attached
urls for photos of the clamp in the previous message, but do not know if it
is a
"standard product" or something that only the Italian motorcycle
manufactures
are using. :-)
best,
doug

You don't like shiny or you don't like screw clamps? I use Oetiker ear
clamps on my fuel lines. http://www.oetiker.com/content.asp?l=4&idNavig=28
If you don't like worm-drive screw clamps, check out ABA mini clamps. These
were OEM on my old Bimmers.
