Default Looking For Black Braided Steel Oil Lines

Has anyone swapped out their chrome hard lines from the oil tank to the motor for braided stainless lines? And does anyone know a maker of black braided lines? I see Goodridge makes a kit but i'm not a big fan of the hose clamp fittings that comes with it.

Also are there any concerns with oil flow that i need to be aware of with this type of conversion?

It's for a 2010 softail if it matters

Thanks for any info

I don't think anyone makes a kit for the 06 up softtail, they have quick connectors on both ends of the lines. You can scuff and paint yours or powder coat. Good Luck!

Powder coater shot me down, he didn't feel comfortable doing it, with the fittings and all he thought it wouldn't work out. Me scuffing and painting is out of the question. I've found make your own kits but not steel braided, rubber hose with a black fabric coating. i wasnt a fan
