Oil Tank Lines
I have a 1985 FXWG and going to have to replace the oil tank lines. I bought it this bike had been parked for 12 years. I got it running but the lines are shot. Does anyone have the diagram of the lines and the routes. I have not attempted this yet and thought I would ask if anyone else has done it.
Any help would be appreciated and thank you for replying.

Just follow the original lines and use good quality hoses.

Pretty down and dirty, but it is a good starting point.

If you plan on working on your own bike I suggest you get a Harley service manual on it.
It will pay for it's self the first repair.
Just my 2 cents.

True, but the diagrams they have for oil hose routing just plain suck.

Thank you for the replys. I work at the Harley shop here in OKC and I am just beginning to fix my Wide Glide.

do 1 oil line at a time. that way it's impossible to mix them up.
