Oetiker Clamps

These have never been on my radar until yesterday; Oetiker Clamps

Tend to be used on fuel hose, attaching rubber boots etc. Superior to your standard hose clamp in clamping strength; but each clamp is a single use; you gotta cut them off.

I have no idea if Honda uses them or if they are on the CB (had an issue with a very large one on the Griso yesterday, mechanic had not sinched it down) but according to the old guy that brought me up to speed they are very popular in the auto/motorcycle industry and I've seen many references to sprinklers.

I'll be using them on my Honda XR650L dirt bike fuel lines when the kit arrives.

I used them on my HD. I like them because they make a very clean hose termination, its hard to over or under tighten them, and they're almost fail-proof.

Good tip on the tool and starter kit.
