Building new Oil lines

[Guest]

I know some of you here have built new brake lines with components ordered from the Internet. But what about building new top end oil lines, those two on the back of the 750 GSED head? Can I get those fittings from the internet? Does anyone with more knowledge than me know the sizes?
Thanks

Bump
Nobody who has built lines has any info for me?

So depressing

Hi,

I don't have any specs, but I think the folks at http://www.anplumbing.com/ should be able to get you the parts you need.


Thank you for your indulgence,

On my 750E, I took the oil lines to a local company that specialized in Hydraulic hoses and fittings. They built me new lines using the existing fittings. I had hoped they would put new fittings on, but they didn't have them. Cost me $20 for the 2 lines.
However, they worked perfectly and goodbye oil leak on the GS.

^ditto. Use the stock line fittings and affix new lines. Any hydraulic joint can fix you up...but you can ghetto it yourself using high pressure neoprene hose and clamps like a man.

I will do this, but living in Ontario now I have to find myself a hydraulic shop, knew where they were in Saskatoon and Calgary, now I am lost. Maybe I could just buy red brake lines and make new hoses myself

Go to a local auto parts store, one with a machine shop. If they don't make them, they probably know someone who can.

Clone,
Princess Auto has great hydraulic build/rebuild capabilities. I think there is one in Kingston, and as far as I know they will do work 'by mail'.

There is a Princess Auto in Whitby, but I don't recall seeing any really small line there.

There was a link posted on the GSR a couple years or so ago about a company you could mail your oil lines to and they'd make you stainless ones. I can't find it now, perhaps another member remembers?
It ended up cheaper for me to have it done locally. I was lucky though, the place was only a few minutes from where I worked.

If you like, let me know the size you need and I will check here...we apparently have the 'largest in Canada' now.
