I was wondering if anyone knew what the part number of the steel braided oil line that goes to the oil cooler is? Mine is now leaking A LOT! If anyone knows the part number and maybe a price from one of the dealers on the bad web, (daves)  that would be great. Thank you, -=2VULGAR=- | ||

Hi there 2vulgar, Don`t know the part number of hand, However IF ya take that hose off and take it to any hydraulic place that makes up hoses for plows, tractors etc.etc. They will be able to make you one up for a whole lot less than the dealer and you can get it the same day just pay attention on routing it especially around the front header no biggie there though...... If you knew abit about it yourself I`m sure you could gear it up with a friend, As These are NOT high pressure oil lines, So just a rubber oil hose with fittings/clamps will get ya out of a jam anyways.. I think the MAX pressure on them wd. be like 75 lbs. and thats if its cold.... Once up to temperature maybe 30 lbs.. Hope this helps, and others tune in IF I am not making any sense here...:-) | ||

So, the steel braided part is not important? I kinda figured it was that way for better cooling. But if a good rubber hose will work, then I will look into it. Thanks, -=2VULGAR=- | ||

I don`t think the braided adds anything for cooling... For years Harley always just used rubber oil lines on their bikes,same pressures there abouts... Just make sure IF ya go with the rubber line`(s) they are good quality/stainless steel clamps if ya can get em then reg. wd. be fine and you route them with Good common sense and you should be good to go... The same shop you go to,probaly can make ya one out of braided stainless and fittings also ( take your old line with ya ) if ya want to go that route, or just about any good Motorcycle shop. | ||

Hey 2vulgar,may want to check with the dealer on this part.My 12 had a problem at 1500mi and the dealer said there was an updated part which ended up being warranteed for me.The line in question was the one from the front of the block which comes off a 90 degree fitting over to the cooler.The braid would be there for durability not cooling.You can fling some road debris at the lines which the braid will fend off.The Harley's can use hose probably because the lines don't have to flex between the engine and stationary frame like a Buell.Don't take a chance with a hose this important.I've been a mechanic for 30 years,and usually when a manufacturer goes the extra to design a part like this,it's for a good reason. ....Mick | ||

Well well... I wd. not make the new hose(s) What ever one makes it out of singing tight, just leave slack and route it like I said with common sense...This you can do in a couple of hours or less and be back on the Road Guess my 30 years riding and fixing my Harleys mean nothing..I stand corrected. | ||

2vulgar,I didn't mean to sound like the absolute and only way to do it would be to choose a Buell part.Just my experience with this problem and a good dealer repair was what I intended.I didn't mean to demean or lessen Hogs posts,just relate my own resolution to the problem.I apologize Hog if this is what you got from my post.I am usually quite articulate in person,but my typing and thought process may get messed up between my brain and fingers. ....Mick | ||

Per Ulysses xb12x yours may be different! Front most line (oil cooler return): HS0009.1AD Rear most line (oil cooler feed): HS0008.1AD | ||

Alright, I just got off the phone with my local dealership. I didn't get the part number... but the parts guy there told me that the 2 lines are sold as a kit. (maybe because this has happened a few times before) lol but since the 2 lines are SOOO close to each other, and since they are braided lines, they chaffed each other. But anyways... Since I live in tax free New Hampshire... the retail on the "kit" of oil lines to and from the oil cooler are $62. I ordered them, should get them in about 8 - 10 days.  | ||

those/these oil lines were updated to include a spacer to keep them from rubbing - don't have a part number for you though. I've isolated them with some tubing (heavy rubber fuel line) for now...   The hard part is deciding which one to ride...
