Congrats on your new bike LT, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
However, the possibility of a set of silicone hoses gives me food for thought. My long term aim has been to replace the radiator with one from an ST and rearrange the plumbing to enable the top hose to connect on the left instead of the right. I could retain the original header tank but it would no longer be pressurised. There may be some issues with clearance at the fairing and the fan may need relocating but I think it would be possible.
I might go for the hoses anyway.
