Motorcycle Repair: 1979 CBX 1000 Oil line size, honda cbx 1000, 1979 honda cbx


Question
Hi!  I have a 1979 Honda CBX 1000 Super Sport.  The left oil line that goes to the oil cooler is leaking at the factory clamp.  I want to get S.S. Braided lines to replace (and nice clamps).  I haven't cut the original clamps off yet and wanted to know the size of the oil line (I.D.)so I can do it all at once.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Recently I have had some aeroquip hoses put on the original clamps before, so it can be done.  This will be something that we will start offering through the club, watch the website at www.cbxclub.com  I do not know the ID of the hoses but the hose manufacturer should have no probelm with them.  Getting the old hoses off the mounts is the tricky part (let them do it) and also make sure you get the rotation of one fitting with respect to the other fitting correct.

Cheers,  Jan
