Default Oil Cooler Hoses

Hello, can you get after market oil cooler hoses? I had a crack in one . Found some salvage butit also cracked. So I guess Ihave to get some new ones. The OEM oneshave a flange on them. I tried to get it repaired at a Hose & Fitting Supply, they told meit was not possible that I would have to go back to OEM.I found a supplier HEL Performance in the UK that mightcarry them. I would like to buy the flanges so I can have them made or complete ones. I can buy both of them OEM for $280.00 a little high for hoses . I would rather have braided ones .Any way, any suggestions I would greatly Appreciate it. Thank You , Blane

YEOW!! 280 bucks for HOSES?? There's gotta be a better way, and I would keep looking until I found it. I'd check the specs on the actual pressure in the hoses. Some bikes (like the old Z-1's) had low pressure lines. I'm sure somebody makes a flange kit that you can use on aftermarket hoses. I wouldn't trust any salvage parts for this application.
If you've ever had an oil cooler hose leak while you're riding, believe me, its a wild ride.
If you locate a fitting crimper kit, let us know; it may be handy to have in the toolbox.
