    Hi guys and gals,
    I`m looking for a supplier of very small diameter oil line for use on external oil lines on my CB/XR superlight bucket racer.
    I`m using Festo 1/8"BSP pneumatic type fittings and am looking for someone who stocks industrial type stuff.Normally when used for pneumatic applications you would use the HD plastic type tube on these type fittings but not sure if that stuff would take the heat without softening up and letting go?
    I use 2 lines to a DR 600 oil cooler and another one for an external feed to the head in place of the internal one which normally runs up through the cylinder around a stud (getting very hot along the way)
    Sure I could let my google fingers do the walking but I bet someone can post it up before I can find somewhere! cheers

    Thanks men,
    Laurie- the bike in question has an NSR 150 front end, can you get a fork brace to suit, or do you know if anyone stocks or makes them?
    Thanks for the help;)

    Thanks , once I get finished with the current mods- making a new exhaust and the oil lines I might give you a call and bring it over for you to have a look if that`s ok. I`ll ring first, cheers Greg
