I have a 2007 ST1300 w/ 40k and besides the obvious answer to replace as needed, when does replacing the rubber bits on this bike become an issue, I would think after 10 years in florida heat would be quite the test. or are these rubber lines built to last 20 years or more?

i am replacing air filter,spark plugs, coolant, oil/filter, bleeding brakes and clutch and attempting valve inspect but want to post some pics from under the seat looking at gas lines, i plan on taking new one in the sunshine tomorrow to get better resolution, rubber looks good and not cracked on all 3 hoses but the connections have rust, is it better to leave this alone?, I also took a pic of plug that came out of #2 , replacing with same type, looked at brake line, look good but will upload some pics tomorrow.
