Oil feed pipe - repair
« on: July 02, 2018, 06:23:10 PM »
I’ve been having trouble with one of the oil lines on my 750, the rear one from tank to engine. I needed to get a quick fix so today I took the pipe down to my local hydraulic line repair centre “mend-a-hose”. They have a trade counter, half an hour and £36 later i have a new re-tubed oil line. It definitely isn’t a close match to the original honda item but to be honest it looks ok and the rear one is out of sight in any case. If you’re more interested in effective than originality then you could quite easily use these on both lines and save a packet. The cost for two replacements from DS is £280 when you add vat and shipping! . James has kindly given me details for a chap in Germany who will do a “close to original” repair for roughly 50% of the cost of new and I may well snd them both off over the winter.... but as I say, if you’re on a budget the industrial repair job is ok
