I'd like to put on a Braided crossover line on my tank but i'm told that they all leak!Has any one had this happen.Whats the fix and who makes the best line?It's for an 05 FXDCI.

 

It's a piece of ****.

If you want mine (off a 2005) - send me $6 for shipping and I'll grab it from the bottom of my tool box and send it off.

Mine didn't leak - but it did expose some unpainted surfaces in the xover tube, which started to rust and look like crap.

 

I've got the Magnum Chromite II crossover in my cart @ Dennis Kirk along with my new cams and front brake line.

I replaced my fuel X-over when re-installing the tank and one of the hose clamps I used backed off and I walked out in the garage to a puddle of gas on the floor. I figured the fancy one had better clamps, they are compression fittings?

 

Yep, the HD one sucks big time. It is too short and as stated leaves unpainted areas exposed.

 

Thank's for the info,I'll stay away from the H.D. one and try to get a longer one!

 

I used an automotive dress up kit to add the braided line look. Works great and looks good...

 

Amen.

I had one on my '08 Low Rider and within just a few weeks I started seeing rust where the unpainted surface was exposed. I don't understand why HD can't use the same tank design as the touring models - they don't have the exposed crossover.

 

I am glad I read this. I had never heard that before and recently got one of the clearance rack at the dealership. I haven't put it on yet. Having second thoughts now. But... I am about to repaint my tins. I might tell the guy to only mask the tube at the end so there won't be too much exposed metal.
