Default stainless steel braded hoses

I have a 08 Ultra with the HD oil coolers. Does anyone know where I can get some stainless steel braded hoses that have the bends in them to replace the stock ones?

S/S hoses do not have 'bends' in them.
They are straight and flexible.
You will have to fit them to your application.

These are the hoses I made up for my Ol' Springer EVO.
They all came from a single piece of 3/8" hose.

The 3/8' S/S hose (Russell) was bought in one piece...I think I bought 10' at the time (It's been a while). The ends are 'covered' clamps from Custom Chrome (and others). I just cut and fit each hose to replace the original.

Id think long and hard before putting the braided covered hose and clamps on the cooler. For one thing you wont get a tight enough bend in the hose without kinking it, and the cooler is a stamped sheetmetal piece and the extra weight on those hose fittings will crack and break from the vibration. Then you will be stranded somewhere. There is hardly any room between the frame and cooler to get real fancy with the lines.
