Default Colors radiator hoses?

Hey, I think my bike (as well as other KLX's) would look sweet with some colored radiator hoses, the only problem is where to get them? They make kits for other dirt bikes like the honda CR but it seems they come pre-bent to the specific bike. Does anyone know where to get a kit?

They work way better than they look too, and last longer. Just my .02....

Found these here in Japan. I have seen them in the past in red or green, but the Yen to Dollar rate makes them $130 plus shipping

That link looks interesting, but.....no image? No idea what color? That is a little more than I would pay for them here. I can find them red, blue, or green too. I think I will go with the blue ones for my bike, to match the race-tech spring and excel blue rims.

Here is the most ghetto idea I could think of but it just might work. Green heat shrink tubing. I put some on my mini maglite at work so I wouldn't chip a tooth if I held it in my mouth. It's been on it for a few months and gets abused floating around in my tool belt and it still looks good. No tooth marks either. http://cgi.ebay.com/4-FEET-1-1-2-GRE...3286.m20.l1116
