Default When to replace oil lines

Hey guys. I was cleaning up my bike last night and was thinking about my oil lines. When do you guys recommend they be replaced? Mine look fine and no dry rot signs but I was just wondering. My softail is low miles about 25K. Just curious

I wouldn't worry about it till you see dry rot or the hose is splitting.

I replaced mine when they got hard and wouldn't seal well at the fittings.

I don't plan om changing mine until they start to leak. I don't expect a complete rupture.

I replaced mine when installing the S&S engine a few years ago. So any engine out job, although they are rare, removing the oil bag or trans, for later bikes.
