Thanks for the feedback.... I was thinking of replacing them eventually anyway.
A friend of mine thats owned an SD990 and now a SM 990 has done it twice. His SD990 blew a hose so he's not taking any chances.
Also a couple of car mechanic friends are very big on preventative maintenance especially coolant hoses so its sorta ingrained in me nowadays

I'd rather mitigate any risk of a hose failing mid ride in the middle of woop woop....
After all, the bike is 8 years old and It gets pretty bloody hot here. I rode it 200km through the Gold Coast Hinterland on the weekend and after spotting the leak / old worn hose it was an easy decision tbh.
I've replaced OEM hoses before long trips as well on my VTR1000 (6,500km trip) and Blackbird (13,000km trip). Its invaluable to have confidence in your bike in the middle of nowhere...... whens there's no one else around for hours if not days.
I've ordered an OEM replacement hose and 2 x OEM brackets for now. Getting non Orange silicone hoses is a challenge though. I've decided to wait for AS3 Performance to get them in early March (hopefully) then will order some.
Better pricing than Samco and hopefully they are good quality. Any else used AS3 Performance hoses before ?.
