If you got this:

would you still need AN fittings?
Just be aware that this is a braided line with clamp covers...

Having said that, you dont 'need' AN fittings/hose. You dont
'need' that braided line kit...

AN hoses are my 'preference' is all. I like to make things different
from others and I like the look. Maybe I should stop there...

good luck,

So if it sounds like I'm trying to talk you out of this, yes I am.

Going with AN fittings/hose is NOT an economical solution at all....

Here's an example; In the pic below for my 'external breather'
system, I just bought some new fittings & hose. I already had
some of the fittings (tee & banjo's, yes had bought them previously).
The straight/45 hose ends, 90 swivel-adapter, with 3 feet of hose
was ~$120.00.




Kind of 'overkill' I know...

hth,

(again, sorry cvaria for hijacking thread)


T.(just like to be different)

hijack away. I'm no thread na*i.

the braided line kit posted by Lewk is the same one i used. DK must be reselling or dropshipping it. The covers look like AN fitting but, just hide the worm drive clamps... its all covered in that install link i post a few posts back.

That braided hose is a PIA but, since those lines are exposed to fast moving road debris gotta protect them somehow. If not braided, find something to shield the lines. Better that than to have really fkd up day. My hose shot off the cooler and it was a nightmare. A debris mayhemed hose whould be worse... theres no fixing it.

So you'd rather use the included plain black hoses and shield them instead of buying the braided ones?

Thanx.

cant say that for sure. The braided hoses have been troopers. Was just a serious PIA to work with, trim, and clamp. If you don't want to spend lots. Gates 400 psi tranny from napa is some tough stuff.

the dk link you posted has it all together with end covers and link couplers but, if you go to jaggs site and look in acessories its all separate.

If you get mixed up, call jagg and talk to Marvin. 740-625-6228.

Bottom line ? you'll be hating on 'whomever' told you to use
braided lines & AN fitings after you try to assemle a few...
Just remember, it wasnt me

(especially when its not a requirement)

No I wasn't gonna assemble anything myself. I was just gonna buy something that's ready-made. Like these hoses from DKCustom:



BUT I would only buy them if it offers much better reliability than the stock rubber hose that comes with the cooler. And on that, cvaria was ambivalent.

3/8 90 banjo came



threw it on and be bleed the front brakes


re-bleed the rears cus... it's a big bottle of dot 4.



looks better than the natural steel look of before and the front brakes are now meaner than ever. the feel is nearly just like the dyna now i think it is slightly softer because the calipers are different. but the tee isn't work. i thin i just need to go with a smaller traditional pre-routed one.

DK is dropshipping or reselling the Jagg stuff, not 100% sure what's going there but, it's jagg goods. they don't come like that, DK will confirm. You have to, painfully, adjust the length to fit your application. Those hoses aren't the most flexible or easy to work with. see jaggs instructions here: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/08...88510008938331

It may seem like we are giving you contradictory responses but, there's no one size fits all unless you go with the hd set up that has you rerouting oil lines on the right/cam side of the bike vs an adapter. Running a thermostat is preferable but, adds to the cost unless you go with a jagg kit, a lot of those include the adapter. Sam_48 is happy as a clam. you kinda have to go your own way with it. Iron out your plan with Marvin or one of the guys at Setrab/Jagg. They will probably explain the advantages and disadvantages better. better. 740-625-6228

my thing is protect the lines. That's just me... as you can see from my chaotic body of work, i don't always get it right...or make sense. i didn't use braided lines on the dyna because the set up itself protects the lines/hoses IMSO. i did use the better quality gates hoses and injector clamps though:






this is directly for Jagg's site (where DK's photos came from too). https://jagg.com/collections/hose/pr...t-hose-upgrade



rest of their ready made kits here... https://jagg.com/collections/harley-davidson-sportster
