Hi Guys, I am putting an early 84 FXST back on the road. When I got the bike, the oil lines were not connected. Does anyone have a good photo of the oil pump and lines? All of the charts I have seen do not match this bike. For example, there are only two lines to the tank and they are at the top. A drain plug is at the bottom of the tank. That’s it. The big question is which tank line is the feed for the engine. The other would be the return from the oil filter. Suggestions and/or photos would be appreciated. The photos are how I have hooked things up now. Thanks, Eric
