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?

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.
