I have a 1980 cb650c, and the spiegler kit is $180.
That seems pretty steep for one hose, two banjos, and 4 crush washers.

Make sure you get a hose with  DOT stamp on it.

plus one to this, even in australia they'll ping you on an inspection for unmarked ones, having said that all the hoses i've bought off ebay have had [probably fake] DOT / Aus Standard stamps on them, even the stupid coloured ones

don't buy Galfer brand hoses, might just be my bad experiences but i've had the banjo ends break off two of theirs

 My supposedly stock speigler hoses (76F) were obviously made for very short handlebars. I did eventually find a place to use the top one but not on a 76F. Hopefully they are correct now. I believe my dealer ok'd the lengths without checking.
