They stock 1/2", 3/4", and 7/8" diam. So for this bike, the whole set of 5 hoses could be reproduced fairly easily. I'll only do the 4 main hoses that way, though, as I mentioned above, building the thermostat hoses (a roughly 8" long straight with an S-bend at the top end. Not sure I want to have couplers in such quick succession - but other than that hose, the rest I can easily recreate with stock hose.
