Ranger32. Its very difficult to read your post and understand what you are trying to say. Repost your question and think about what you are typing then go back and read it over a few times as if it were someone elses post and they were asking you for help . Shovelhead Bob is one of the most knowlegable guys in the forum and I'm sure he will be more than willing to help you with your problem but he cant help if he cant make sense of your message...............BG

I think he wants to know how the oil lines are routed from the oil tank to the engine, seems he got the bike
without the lines hooked up.

Top is Vent/Return

The 2 on the bottom are Drain and Supply.....

I don't have a manual in front of me for that year, so it will be a while before I can find out......

The drain is / Should be plugged off with a bolt..... Some are routed with a hose down to the swingarm....
