Had the same problem on my 94... Replaced it with pipe fitting connector T shaped, needed extra clamps but works like a charm! Cost? $5 bucks!

 

Creative!

Please pass the details onto Alt parts

 

Good to know!
I'll replace mine when I do my thermostat and coolant flush this fall

 

What year is urs now im paranoid im in the chicago area too n have a 94 w 18k on it. I certainly want to replace it if its a coolant weak part that could b catastrophic! What did u have to remove to change whats it called n lastly what site did u get it from.

 

I have a 1993 model. Part was purchased from Partzilla

19501-MS2-000 JOINT, WATER HOSE (American Honda) $18.75. You should verify what part number yours is.

It's an easy part to replace. The fairing has to come off to get to it. It's on the right side.

 

Good to know!
I presume that is still plastic though?
When I replace mine I may look up the local hardware store for one made of brass or aluminum

 

Yes, it's plastic / resin.

 

It was CBR1988 - Dub - who made up the stainless 3 way hose joints. And incredibly fine pieces of kit they are. I have fitted one and have one spare (for the other CBR1000F). Dub is still around so it might be worth PMing him to see if he'd fabricate a few more for a group buy (CBR Forum - Enthusiast forums for Honda CBR Owners - View Profile: CBR1988).

Cheers, SB

 

Can you take a picture of your spare and post it? I'd like to see what it looks like.

Although my replacement fitting is OEM and made of the same material that failed, I figure it will last a good 20 years, by which time I'll be 74 and most likely sitting in a different type of two-wheeler. So I'm not going to worry about it too much!

 

Hope this help! Had some problems downloading image. Been a member for a while but never posted pics. Just posted 50+ pictures on my album "CBR1000F 94 cosmetic makeover". First time I do this and it's coming along GREAT! Here are some pics of brass pipe fitting T. $5 bucks! You will need to buy piping at your local automotive store and cut to fit.
