Hey guys, here to pick your brains again. My Sportster motor is 99.99% done being rebuilt. Last thing to install are the oil lines that run from the right half of the crank case up to the rocker boxes. My question is what came on Sportster when they were original. I have checked and aftermarket are all chrome, they are not offered in CAD but I am not sure thats what they were, or if they were just plain silver? I know they used the solid lines and not the common steel braided that everyone put on, my question is were they chrome, silver, or CAD? Or Something else. Its a minor detail but I want to be as accurate as I can be putting this motorcycle together. Thanks for all your help, without this forum and guys like you I would be lost putting something together thats twice my age.

They have a 50$ minimum order. Some stuff shows up not the right finish or markings, as the NOS parts could have been made by Harley in the 70's and be zinc plated. Still, a good resource and nice to deal with.Comment
