Thanks to Traveler, I have come out of my slumber on the flexible oil line front.
For those that don't know me, I have been very sporadic in my forum presence due to other projects and family commitments.
Minimum orders apply for the components that I source from Germany and so to make it worth while I am going to be making a total of 12 this time round.
All will be made with the super flexible hose that I sourced last time round, (high temperature PTFE braided in 316 stainless steel).It is a huge improvement over the rigid oil line offered by BMW. In one case, a forum member I pointed towards the G650GS's oil line, tried it and then came back asking for one of mine. Ok, it does not give you free horsepower but it makes removing the clutch cover a significantly easier job to do. If you are so inclined you do not even need to drain the oil to do those jobs either.
Super flexi MK3 version on offer:
Original MK1 version during "testing" on the big bike challenge:
This year to cover the costs I am afraid that I will have to take the price up to £52 which will include recorded delivery to your UK address.
Any international buyers will get separate quotations on postage. From past experience it is worth doubling up your order with a friend as the of postage then becomes reasonable.
For your peace of mind, I have now sold around 50 of these over the past 5 years or so to a number of UK, US and EU forum members all of whom seem to be happy with their purchase.
As with previous years, full technical support will be on hand and I will also fit it for you if you are around Bristol(My workshop) or Duxford( if you have a garage I can work in). Note: fitting service is just that, you will need to have the oil and the 2x M16 copper washers to replace, any additional work required can be discussed.
