Maybe I should seek out a speed shop then...

Yeah, it's just an oil return line, no pressure to speak of.
There's hardly an easier line to make.

What about this? (wish I'd found this when shopping for brake lines) they sell DIY steel brake line kits with screw-on fittings and limitless color choices for bolts and fittings.

I just wonder if a steel "brake line" would be a suitable replacement, they are thinner than what I'm working with here.

I just found what appears to be a deadstock frentubo oil cooler line set in the back of the shop. how many people would want a set if we were to duplicate them?

Are you in the business of making fluid lines?

I was able to find the old frentubo return lines. Only $60 new

We have a few sources for making lines. I just figured if multiple people wanted them I could kick it upstairs. maybe try and do a group buy and get everyone parts built to the old frentubo spec.

No clue what it would cost or if it would be worth it, not really trying to make a buck on em, I just figured if they are hard to come by and I have 1 good unit It would be good to make a few so that everyone could get em.

I bet an oil cooler line kit that was built like the Hypermotard lines would draw some interest.
