Make sure it's not your shock leaking. |

The hose clamps are a H-D part, the hose itself is standard automotive oil line. If that one is leaking, the ones on the other side of the pump are probably in need of changing, too. They pass under the oil tank and above the muffler and get quite a bit of heat and chafing. |

Shock res should not be mounted to that hose it mounts to the front shock mount the hose clamp will rub theough the oil line |

The reservoir also mounts with a torco clamp - tighten the clamp on the reservoir, then stick the threads through the shock mount. Use a nylock to hold the threads to the mount. |

There should be a rubber spacer (K0412.8) between the hose and reservoir, and the clamp should be on the metal fitting/ferrule part of the hose - not the rubber section. Many dealers have the hose (62631-91) in inventory, and dealers can still order the hose through VPI. |

So the line is obsolete. I got new brass fittings from ACE and 1/4 300 psi oil that I will use clamps with. U might be able to reuse the old fittings if u carefully remove the collar. |
