Oil Cooler Lines
Got an oil leak from the middle of the long line. Has anyone made up their own lines to replace the stock items?

Re: Oil Cooler Lines
if the banjo's are ok then you could try a plumbing flexi and a cppl clips. as long as the bore is the right size then all will be well.

Re: Oil Cooler Lines
I looked at this but ended up buying a whole oil cooler off ebay for less than this would have cost.
Trying to find a replacement line is frustrating. In the UK they're like rocking horse dung, and really expensive to buy new, but in the states you can get them for a few dollars but the postage is obviously very expensive.

Re: Oil Cooler Lines
Cheers chaps, fired Earls a mail and ended up getting a set from there, £52 posted. Not cheap but looking at second hand and new prices not to bad.

Re: Oil Cooler Lines
Shall update thread when I get them, guess the price isn't bad just an expensive self created problem lol. Fitted my new sprocket carrier bearing today also so now if I can get the exhaust studs sorted the bike can go back on the road.

Re: Oil Cooler Lines
Do you need to prime the oil cooler to get air out or anything prior to refitting?

Re: Oil Cooler Lines
I didn't when I replaced mine. Just drained the oil first, replaced the cooler and refilled.

Re: Oil Cooler Lines
I'm surprised you couldn't get someone like Pirtek to make a set up.
