Default RED hoses??

I've checked out a number of different web sites that offer 300 feet of this and that. I wanna trick my bike out to the last detail, big time!! Went to the local hardware stores, did a ton of googling, no answers. Any breather tubing on my bike, I want red. Anybody have anything??? Answers?? Ya, it's a crap shoot, but I want red hoses, in the worst way. Even the radiator over flow, I will keep in mind the options to steel some junk hoses that got left in the garbage.....but....most of those are pneumatic hoses and won't hold up to simple chemicals.

I can't imagine there's such a kit that exists, but, just imagine the hits you might get on it, from people that are concerned about every last detail, for something as simple as a 2 foot chunk of colored hose!! Crazy!!~

Somebody on here has a bike with a coupe of red coolant hoses. Search around.

I remember someone on here getting red (DRC?) hoses for their KLX They ended up being disappointed with them because they faded and ended up being pink after a while.

I'm pretty sure those are the ones that fade to PINK after a while. Correct me if I"m wrong.

Got red DRC coolant hoses on my bike, still very red and shiny after 1 year. I do use a silicon spray on my plastics and hoses. maybe that has a UV protection?
But I think Cravin Pantera is refering to red hoses for all the smaller diameter black overflow and feul hoses?

+1 Graham, I've had my DRC red hoses for around a year & to be fare the hoses out of the box are quite a light bright red!! (I would have preferred a deeper red). They are still red & shiny & it's only a few of my mates that say they're pink because we all take the Mickey out of each others bikes!! lol

The climate/sunshine in Thailand is very harsh on paints/colors/anodizing etc etc.....countries with winters or less sunshine than 330 days a year will fare much better.

PS. I did think I had a problem with my hoses but it was only superficial & the offending hose is still on the bike & working!!
