I did a 99 KX125/01 KDX220 and used the KX radiators, and a mix of the KX and KDX hoses. Also didn't use the overflow reservoir.

Same here - 04 125 and 96 200 and a mixture of hoses. Had to put a insert in the one from the bottom of the rh rad to the water pump so I could twist the bottom secdtion 90 deg.

I had to splice two hoses for the left side from the radiator to the cylinder, got luckky on the right side and just had to trim about 1/2" off. Have since had it in the desert, and in the woods on a couple of warm, humid days and no overheating, actually seems to run a little cooler than before it was a hybrid.
