Here is some info I pulled from a thread on YJB. I will likely have to replace some of my hose clips/clamps soon.

Was doing some looking on McMaster-Carr and found a few options for clamps/clips that maintain constant tension like the originals. I'm not sure that constant tension is required, but Yamaha used these things all over the place on the cooling system. I think there are over 30 clips per engine and my measurements say the hoses vary between 1" diameter and 3/4" diameter.

What do you guys think of these

vs these which look like the originals

I like the first one because they are inexpensive and maintain constant tension like the original clips and they are stainless steel. The con is that they are not very wide.
The second ones are nice but they are very expensive. Over $5 per clamp... ouch.
The third ones are cheap and look like a direct replacement but are not very rust proof.
