Since I have a 15.5 SXF450FE we are making Moto Hose Oversize & Braced Radiators for at least my bike. This model Radiators fits this year only and there were limited of them manufactured by KTM.
Those of you who have a 15.5 SXF450FE is there interest in us making a larger production run?
Moto Hose Radiators are $199.95 per side.
Not sure IF the 15.5 SXF250FE is the same maybe someone with a 250FE can help me identify?

They might work, but they are definitely not pretty. No consistency, Cold and hot in the same weld, wondering up and down mid weld etc etc. I'm no internet weld inspector either, I would of said nothing if you didn't say what you said in your post.
I would happily weld one radiator out for you and send it back for you to use in your pictures, haha.
With that said the ones I got work great.
That said, I can only believe that Lump posted up that pic to chum the waters and draw out some critics. I can't believe the radiator in that pic was any more than a pieced together prototype and in no way a production part. Excellent trolling Lumpy.
Still, I'd like to know where the original hose that Lumpy uses is made. Is the entire product made here, or just formed and packaged? I think it's a fair question to ask.
But stalking is over the top.
Case in point: I had to by tire chains this week, to replace a set my company provided me with. Tore the motherf-),&/rs up climbing a 6% grade, on bare asphalt. (Apparently the guys in BC think it's amusing to leave the chain up lights on for no reason) Went to the place where we buy our chains, and the ones I trashed were Chinese. Huh, no kidding. Mild steel pcs of shit. Cost to replace them, $280. The good ones, made in Norway, were $600. High carbon steel, virtually indestructible. Now, since I was replacing someone else's equipment, I bought what I broke, even though it wasn't my fault.
Stay with me here. Now, 2 sets of chains have been purchased, at a cost of $560. $40 less than the good ones, and that's not including wrecking those chains, and leaving me stranded on a mountain pass, had they exploded on a snow covered road. No way UP, and no way down. Completely fucked. When I buy chains for myself, which is going to happen right shortly, it'll be the good ones, cost be damned. Spend money wisely. I also want to support companies who offer quality products, made by competent people. Not a communist regime, who trample human rights, on a good day.

Moto Hose is the ONLY Silicone Radiator Hose Company Made In the USA. Period.
This was not an easy task and why our competition would like to find out where our Hoses are made.
Moto Hose started selling colored hoses in 2001 and Like most of our silicone radiator hose competition we were made in China. After having quality issues including having to throw a complete order in the trash we Knew there had to be a better way. After scouring we found a facility that met our needs and would make smaller production runs we needed.
That is the story and maybe once and for all this can be put to bed.
