Coolant Hoses - question about parts list and elbows

[ST1100Y]

Parts came in (2 bikes worth)...

Yeah... always feels like Xmas, doesn't it? ;-)

Yeah, but you still should have replaced the O-rings sealing them onto the heads...
Heat, scale and crystals do wear them down pretty good over the years.
I had yet not a broken elbow, but I do replace them O-rings during "regular" 100Tkm maintenance... found some that had literally pulverized...

The next sentence after I said I didn't change the elbows I said I did change the o-rings.
