The oiler is in a different place depending on if the cable is for speedster or buckhorn bars. It is intended to be at the highest point of the loop to allow oil to drain back both directions. What part # is your cable and what bars are you running?

Robbie...wouldn't that be determined by where you clamped it to the bars. My parts book only shows one listing.Originally posted by Rub View PostComment

Most of the NOS cables that show up are military surplus and were for short bars. The old factory replacement was long enough for both and could be trimmed on either end. That sounds like what militaryrider has. I have found that using the long cable on short bars puts the oiler very low on the cable. Note that in Chris's picture it is above the clamp. On short bars that put it below it, where it doesn't belong!

Gentlemen , I considered cutting back the cable and replacing the Ferrell to reposition the oilier ,however wanted to check if cable to be correct ,I don’t want to destroy a original part .
The bars I believe to be a set of police bars, I decided to use on this restoration,
They are drilled on the right to accommodate a light switch, police pursuit lights?
This location shall be used to switch the running lights; yes I know the running lights have a switch on them.
I will get My Son to post the pictures tonight , please check back later, Eastern Time.
Thanks Jim pComment
