Default Round oil tank conversion question

I'm installing a round oil tank this winter amongst other mods and have a question. For those that have installed them before, did you just get a bushing for the motor side of the oil lines which would reduce it to the same size as the threads on the bag and then just get steel braided lines made up? Bike is a '06 standard but that shouldn't really matter.

I was cheap and used brass bushings and rubber lines. The AN fittings are spendy, but do look sexy.

Yea, I was kinda entertaining the idea of bending some stainless soft tubing but didn't know if it would next some play just like the stock lines. I think it would be fine just being rigged but the stainless hose do look sexy
