Need new water hoses

[zoomjay]

I have an 88 1300 that I am working on. I had to remove the radiator and would like to replace the water hoses when I put it back together although do not see any listed on ebay (okay, I am a slave to ebay). Are they a standard size (aka can I just go to the autoparts store and pick up some straight hoses or do I have to pay the price for yamaha ones?

 

Thanks

A few years back there was a fellow on here that posted a method for heat forming straight radiator hoses so they would fit a first Gen because he could not buy them. You maybe able to find his posts if you search for them.

What is the conversion for Rubles to US Dollars???

[Flyinfool]

$1 USD = 79.2975 Russian Rubble.

That hose set is for the VMAX, anyone know how close that is to a 1st gen Venture?

I noticed that too and have the same question...

with guarantee only 1 tube doesn't approach. For a small circle. The others should be tried on.

For $33 I would try some, but I can't figure out the web site.

Should be able to get them direct from china, but can't find them

 

US Shipping in West Chester, Ohio has them for 54 bucks on e-bay.

I ordered a set.

I figured for 34 bucks, enough would fit to make to worth while.

I let you know what happens.

Mine are 27 years old, seem to be in good shape, but who knows?

Mine came today. Ordered from China, came from Steve Xu, West Chester, Ohio

Look OK, have not tried them.

That's a fast turn-around from China.

Please let us know if they work well?
