Motorcycle Repair: oil lines, harley service, oil tank


Question
hi,i am new to hd i picked up a late 84 XLX that i have to put the motor back on and i have no idea where to hook up any of the oil lines!they have been all  cut off, there are two on the front of the motor  and three on the back, any help would be great!

Answer
The ones from the oil tank are as follows

Lowest one is the main feed. Goes to the back of the oil pump
The return to the tank goes from the oil filter to the back top of the oil tank. The other is the vent from the back of the motor.
The feed for the filter comes from the bottom of the motor under the cam cover
If you get a harley service manual there is a great pic of the oil hose routing
Good luck and happy riding
Mike
