i was changing my muffler hanger today and mysteriously found a hole in the oil line that goes from the oil filter boss to the oil pump...like i didnt hit it with the wrench or anything...DOH! so, i need a new rubber oil line.. i dont have a parts manual for the 99, just an 02 edition.. the part number the dealer gave me is 62631-91 and it cost about 10 bucks... the one on the bike has a factory metal fitting on each end...anyone know if the part has been changed to just a piece of hose and some clamp on fittings? 10 bucks sounds too cheep.... | ||

I don't know. Sometimes they do that. | ||

Its not in the parts manual. the end fittings are. that hose is not that long. | ||

You can't use normal hose from an auto parts store? | ||

thats what im trying to figure out... the one on the bike is a factory made rubber line with permanent factory crimped fittings... WHAT im trying to figure out, is if the later bike might have gone to just fittings and a replaceable piece of hose...if so, i could buy the stuff at a auto parts store... | ||

Go to either an auto parts, or a heavy equipment (like, uses hydraulic stuff) and take your hose with you. You can probably get a fitting that will mate with your bike at both ends, and have a simple hose barb out the other side so you can replace hoses at will. | ||

If you try it, it's probably not the best idea to use brass fittings. They have a tendency to crack in high vibration applications. I think the most pressure the hose would ever see is around 40psi on the coldest days until the bike warmed up, so procure the hose you intend to use accordingly. It might be a good idea to use fuel injection clamps too (auto parts stores have them). They aren't one size fits all so make sure to match them with the hose OD. I took the easy way out and got a Russell braided steel hose when the original started leaking. | ||

The fitting on the pump "front" looks to be an -AN fitting, just need to figure out which size. probably -6. Can't tell what the fitting is from the drawing in the book at the oil pump end, though...looks like maybe male pipe thread? It has to hold the check ball in place...but if you have your old one, experiment (I don't have my tubers handy at the moment) - pull the hose off the fitting and see what's inside. If you can re-use that fitting and clamp a new hose to it, you should be good. | ||

i didnt see a check ball when i pulled it appart, is there one that is supposed to fall out? | ||

ok, i found it in the diagram... in my 2001 manual, you are right, it looks like just an a AN fitting... i called bruce rossmier's and he had a hose in stock... he said that it came with the fittings already attached, like my take off part.. it is only 11 bucks... 20 bucks to ship it.. the only checkball is behind the filter and not at the oil line... so i should be all set and maybe i should order a spare, as it looks like a rock can trash it... | ||

20 bucks shipping! well i asked for the hose and i got it!!! | ||

If you have a local hotrod shop, or speed shop, you should be able to get braided sleeving by the foot you can put over it to protect it from debris. And...it'll look like the "expensive stuff". LOL! Also, if it helps you save some shipping $, here's all the FL dealers showing it in stock: Bruce Rossmeyer's Daytona Harley-Davidson Ormond Beach P-(386) 671-7100 F-(386) 671-7077 Peterson's Harley-Davidson South Miami P-305-235-4023 F-305-235-4044 Black Widow Harley-Davidson Port Charlotte P-(941) 883-8000 F-(941) 883-8008 Harley-Davidson of Crystal River Homosassa P-(352) 563-9900 F-(352) 563-9910 | ||

thanks for the info... | ||

OKay, sorry I didnt see this before... The oil pump DOESNT have a AN fitting.. IIRC its ALL 1/8th NPT... I have -6 hose and fittings, and that particular hose was custom made for me, for about 13 bux.. stainless teflon braid.. 8.5 inches, that, 2 AN to NPT adapters, is all you need... Best bet, get it from H/D unless you want braided line Chase | ||

another disadvantage of living in a small town.. im lucky to find a donut in this town, let alone getting something custom made... i wish i could find a braided hose, but i guess the factory is as good as it gets... | ||
| Chasespeed |
If you want, lemme know, I can have one made for ya.. that and the adapters are pretty cheap... less than 20 bux Chase | ||

I realize this is an old thread, but I just had a hose and fitting supply store make this part for me with Stainless braided hose, and permanent crimped fittings for $12 That's pretty cheap considering HD wants $10 for the stock part with rubber hose. I considered getting the right size fittings with hose barbs then just use hose clamps, but the crimped on stuff looks better. Not to mention that this is the only oil line on the bike designed with the crimped fittings - IMO there has got to be a reason for that so why change it? |
