Title: Radiator hoses
Post by: Alpinestars2785 on March 10, 2007, 09:22:19 AM

Does anyone happen to know if there is a company that can make custom radiator hoses?  I'm really wanting to have a blue set made for my '90 KX 250.  I know that some places make them for all the new 4 strokes so I just wanted to see if anyone knew of anywhere.  I made my own set of blue ones with a coat hanger and a couple coats of spray paint, haha.  They don't look half bad but the paint doesn't stay on as well as I'd like.  Let me know if you have any info.  Thanks!

I would also like a set for my 99 model 250.   Would those hose covers work you can buy at autozone?

I know this is a UK site but could you get something like Samco radiator hose over in the US?

If your just interested in the color, you can buy different colored hose covers from most performance auto parts stores (i.e. Jegs).  Usually when you see blue hoses they are made from silicone and last forever.

Here's some from JC Whitney http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Product/tf-Browse/s-10101/Pr-p_Product.CATENTRY_ID:2000893/p-2000893/N-111+10201+600001653/c-10101 (http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Product/tf-Browse/s-10101/Pr-p_Product.CATENTRY_ID:2000893/p-2000893/N-111+10201+600001653/c-10101)

CM4 or something like that makes some silicone hoses.  They might do custom work.
