[QUOTE="Pharquarx, post: 16088, member: 1536"] Craig, Looking closer at the installation today, it looks like Tony did not use a rubber grommet this time under the clamp as the paper sleeve seems to seal and work very well. I had the bike out today to go to Angel Stadium and back for tickets to Friday's game against Oakland. It is about 40 miles round trip. Had the Comet up to 75 mph on the backside of the abandoned El Toro Marine Base. It did very nicely and actually seemed to run a little better and smoother at street speeds after the two mile workout. The clear oil feed/return hose came with the bike. I have retained it because it satisfies my need to see oil circulating in addition to peeking into the port in the UFM. I will probably change it when I take the bike completely apart this fall to restore it to a Touring Model. I already have all of the necessary parts from Conways. My email is [email]pharquarx@sbcglobal.net[/email], drop me a line and I will send some photos. [/QUOTE]
