Great find! Do you have a part number, store number or whatever to make sure I don't order the wrong thing?

Do you have the year of the skyline? Looked around a bit and could not find the kit you referred to.

Is there a catalog to order from at SH? I looked at the site but did not find the hose kit. Found some other options for new bikes but not products. Thanks

I went to the local auto zone and found hose #A71415, crossed that number to Gates. Gates hose was $ 10.99. It is the exact fit of the SH hose. Not silicone and no color but it matches all the rest on the bike.

Have you actually fitted this hose on your bike?

Yes, I turned the stock outlet 180 degrees and the hose fit from top to bottom.

I think Im going to order that hose. Im using the waterpump to rear of cylinder hose from a 03-04 KX250, trimmed to fit. Works well and I had a few in stock. Id like to check out the hose that you found though.
A couple of 03 and 04 KXs, a few YZs, 3 PE 400s, a DR and a TS.
