I was thinking of buying these first
http://www.wemoto.com/parts/picture/HZ-OILLINECB750/

I changed my mind when finding really good looking ones, complete OEM style crimped together with real CB750 parts. I do not have to cut my old ones to reuse the connecting parts clamped together in a way that might leak or in worst case get loose completely.

It's not much money more. I still feel that I have made a good purchase. Being a cheapskate is sometimes understandable, but not with the oil lines.

About the price, compare with NOS Oil lines if finding any. CMSNL have these in their part lists, out of stock. Price: 91+103,5 Euro + 21% tax (EU)=235 Euro!

Thank you very much Classic Cycle City making it possible for me to purchase improved OEM oil lines for almost half price! ;) ;D

Okay, enough of this mishigas.

One, the hose isn't shipped twice. Only the ferrules and aluminum ends are shipped to Europe. Duh!

Two, I didn't say hoses couldn't be crimped in the US. We wanted to use six or seven jaw crimps to replicate the look of the original Honda. After spending an inordinate amount of time trying to find someone in Southern California who had such a crimper we decided to do the job in Europe.

That's it for me in this troll-fest. Today, I have to deal with a customer's CB750F with the infamous "hanging throttle" issue as well as tasks on the AT&SF Triple. I'm turning off "notify" for this thread and I recommend that anyone with a real life do the same. Adios! RR
