That would be great news. Its nice to be able to save some cash over the Honda bits.I'll look around in the postings.. Somewhere back there I remember an automotive radiator hose (Dayco or Gates) for about $6.00 us that you just trim to length.. As soon as I find it I'll post it.. .
But will the auto hose have the bends? If you put a straight hose on and try to bend it (assuming the GL1200 one has a bend or two) then it will just fold itself closed. I did this with a car hose once and it didn't work, had to go and buy the main dealer one with the appropriate bends.You should be able to match it with a generic hose from a auto part store. There is no difference between a cycle radiator hose and a auto radiator hose.
Your right Paul,I used the 7733 this past summer, it was around $12.00Check out NAPA #7733 in the U.S. supposed to be able to make both hoses out of one of these.
