Default Stainless oil vent line
Replaced the oil vent line on the 06 FLHTI yesterday. I was in the dealership (for a dyno run) and saw the chromed steel vent line for $40. I had tubing and the fittings laying around so I made my own, except mine is polished stainless steel (fittings included).

Wish I had found yours before I bought mine. Looks good nonetheless.

Thanks for the compliments,

I made an extra set for a friend, matches his EG Classic chromed motor perfect also.

I might make a few extra sets with the left over tubing I have.

What type/kind of fittings did you use? 37 1/2 flair or compression type? Mind giving me a brand name and a part number if you have it handy? thanks.

Are the taps in the castings 3/8" IPT? (thought about replacing the 90 deg rubber hose on my '01 w/chrome tube & fittings)
