Default E Glide bobber

Been posting over in the touring forum but feel it is probably more appropriate to post here as my bike is a 1988 (Evo), anyway made some changes to the bike and thought I would post a quick video, no commentary as it was very windy out today, instead of creating another thread anybody no a good source for parts for these older models, I am currently trying to run down oil feed and return lines, I tried getting just some oil line hose, however its pretty cramped at the oil pump and the hoses need to be pre bent to fit, anybody doing anything creative with their oil lines post up, open to ideas.

the video:

I'm digging it. Clean, lean and mean and I love the battery mount. really cleans up the engine area.

You posted in the Touring section so I searched for info on your bike. Super cool! Won't lose that in a crowd. How long have you had it?

I like the lean look. Did you have any problems mounting up the fairing?

Would angled fittings at the oil pump eliminate the need for pre-formed hoses ?

At first, I was thinking I will see some odd piece of crap, but I am pleasantly wrong!

That is totally different and bad ***! Thanks for breaking the mold.. I bet that is easy to find in a parking lot.

Thanks for the compliment, actually the fairing is a stock piece.

That is a great idea, however; I did luck up and found a set of stock pre bent lines, from an Indy that used to sell and service used Harleys, now sells used JAP bikes.
