Since the oil hose purchased at an auto parts store oesn't hold up I need to find out which is the strongist oil hose to use for my Ironhead. What hose doesn't crack and leak after the hose clamp gets tightened?
power steering return line is sold in bulk and can be used. however, although it is the same ID, the OD is a little bigger and it is less flexible. try some and see...
I've tried that kind of hose and it wouldn't work. Searching has allowed me to find some oil line that is nylon. That made me ask around about auto oil hose and find out that is just made with some nylon. Auto oil hose is mostly rubber.
Even though some is made out of stainless steel, it is made per model, not for individual choppers.
I have found some stainless steel hose clamps at a hardware store. They are so tough you don't have to relace them every time they have to be loosened for some reason.
I hope this tough nylon oil line beats oil leaks so the summer rides can be easier.
Searching a bit let me find out about nylon oil line. Some of that for motorcycles is offered. Some asking around let me find out about oil line that is reinforced by nylon. I even heard that one can find 3/8 ID in different OD sizes. Now I have to find out id 3/8 ID oil line fits on the stock Ironhead oil line.
