I`m not the one asking for help. If all you want is guesses, don`t bother telling people how your hardware is configured.

Good luck.

It's not guesses, the ones leading into the motor are a very specific thread pitch. "all" twincams have them. The oil tank itself will be a standard easy to find piece. If I'd have done my tank more recent, I'd know exactly what he needed with no more than the original post.

The OP has not said what the parts on the tank look like, so we have no clue as to whether the tank has threaded holes for fittings to screw into, nipples that use a hose and clamp, or AN fittings.

Oil tanks a standard piece? Man, don`t we wish...unfortunately there is entirely too much el cheapo Chinese oddball $hit out there being sold.

Not the tank itself, the fittings comming out of it. Standard 1/4"or 3/8"npt would be my guess but I can't remember. AN coming out of the motor. While I'm all for buying american, my $89.00 taiwan teddy oil tank doesn't leak, my u.s.a one did.
