Thats to easy fix I glad you though of it I can get 90 degree Aluminm tubing all day long at work thats a great Idea I most likely use JB Weld that way I can clock the tubes on the bike to put less stress on the coolling sytem.

Im thinkin about AN Fittings.. :D They make some male 90's with hose fittings on them.

I remember finding those 90's with barbed ends on em for regular hose but cant find them now.. anyhow thats what i was thinkin.. If i can find them in the black ano tuff crossion resistant that would be the bomb diggity yo.

I'll weld elbows in it for you, either 125 or 250 hose size, can shorten them and index to where you prefer
