Oil pipes
« on: September 28, 2009, 01:18:25 PM »
Hi All,

Anyone had braided steel oil pipes made for one of the K series? Mine are fraying a bit and replacements are not now available. The second hand ones will be in a similar state to mine, so probably not worth buying (maybe I am wrong?)

Just wondered if this was possible and roughly how much?

Thoughts/comments appreciated

Hi Seamus, someone on the US site does them but they are not cheap, haven't seen any over this side of the pond. I would be interested if there was !

Cheers

Hi Den

Had these folk recommended

Looks like some stuff is off the shelf, but not for us. I will investigate when the bike comes off the road for the winter. (Still only 500 miles on the oil, so don't want to drain yet)

Cheers

I contacted Goodridge.They used my originals as the pattern and made up a set for me.They looked the biz.
