I saw a pic of a GS with a topend oiler setup that was nothing more than braided lines,t-fittings,90' fittings,tapped into the 4 stock bolts on either side of the head,fed from the pressure sender.Has anyone built one of these systems?Looks very simple,gotta be cheaper than the $230 one that you see.
 
Friend of mine uses steel brake pipe to make them, Very Stealth.

I had a setup like this given to me with some other parts I bought. It is just how you describe, but the T they had was two machined parts that looked like a Y rather than a T. They drilled and tapped the stock ends for 1/8 NPT and used all standard fittings. I had no use for the fittings and sold it on eBay for $10 or so. Not a bad way to make one.
 
You dont need anything special at the oil sender,do you?Looks like modify the cap to except a 1/8 npt fitting.
 
I believe the oil sender is 1/8 NPT, but I would check it to be sure.

Vance and Hines used to sell the metric fittings that screw into the head and accept a -6 npt

I would not change this to a pipe thread. Maybe someone has a part # from Earls or something, I could never figure this one out..
 
Ill have to check out V&H,thanks.just pains me to dish out big $'s for something you can do yourself.
 
I was thinking.............again, what about the plastic lines we used for our air shifter. Find some bigger tubing along with bigger push to fit fittings would be a piece of cake to make.
 
It sounds like your talking about the ployflow fittings and tubing which are made for gas. I agree with clam bake. I use stainless over teflon for most of the fluids including engine oil and have never seen it break down.
