Mine original pump hose was kinked but worked fine as well, I swapped it out to be safe. Kinda a sketchy ya know!

The only downside of doing it yourself is making sure the hose is clamped and won’t ever come loose. Maybe use the same type of hose clamps as the factory?
Did you test the line you used by soaking an end of a hose in a cup of gas for several hours to see how it reacts when submerged 100%?
I personally would not trust that PU hose submerged inside fuel in my bike. PU is ok under atmospheric pressure as a fuel line but putting it under constant PSI submerged and its not going to last. Nylon is a better hose material that works better with gasoline but it is much harder And does not flex as much.
I just did a quick search and there are different lines for inside the fuel tank.

That looks like a good product match as long as the ID is 5/16 which is the std carb fuel hose size.
My brand new 450 had its fuel pump outlet line kinked more or less like yours.
I removed the whole assembly, from pump to regulator, replaced with submersible line, on outside threw out the restrictive quick connect/ weedeater filter, installed new line/ golan filter between tank/ injector.
I put a fuel cap sock in tank.
So as fuel is poured in, the strainer gets anything big. Still have the pump inlet strainer. Nothing from pump outlet until the golan on outside of bike. I check the golan every other oil change. Its always clean for most part.
Simple maintenance. And never any fuel problems, or expensive crap filters to replace.
Submersible line you need is gates 27093. It can handle pressure, but is made to be in liquid.
I use injection style band clamps rather than worm gear clamps.
My bike has about 50 hrs on the above, no troubles. Have helped some guys out with same setup with double that, all is as nice as day it was put in, and no issues with fuel flow or trash.
First two more or less shows kink. Its a little worse when installed.
Go to an oriley auto parts. They sell gates products. You need gates 27093.
Use fuel injection style band clamps. Not worm gear.
But, in stock trim, think of the in tank as a prefilter, it gets all the large stuff, inline on qd as the one that gets things clean. BUt really they are both junk. And that qd is restrictive with out a filter even in it.
So what i do is put a sock on tank. That way it catches anything big. Still has strainer at pump inlet. Nothing between pump/ regulator, and on outside of bike i put a golan brand 5/16 barb filter inline between tank outlet and injector. Easy maintenance and and better filtration.
Simple, no restriction from the qd, no plastic filter in tank.
That is if you remove the in tank
