Default RE: Twin-Cam Oil Filter Relocation - Will This Work?

ORIGINAL: ultravista
I like the look of the "rat rod" with the orange Fram filter hanging off the back, copper lines and all. It adds extra oil capacity too.
I would be careful about using copper lines on a bike like a Harley. If they are not solidly mounted to the frame it won't be too long before the vibration on even a B motor will start causing any line that's not solidly mounted towork harden and fracture from the vibrations.
Its better to use braided hose or even high grade rubber lines, even if they don't look as "old school".
