Do you happen to know the ID of that oil line? Did you use any restrictors in the line? I fabbed up some steel tubing but I wonder if it is too small.

What piece are you refering too? The one I drilled and tapped was part of the oil pan.

Yep the Repsol is back there. I have been tossing around the idea of selling it. I dont ride anymore. Its has been sitting on a rear flat for 6 months. I have new tires just havent put them on. PM me if interested.

the peice is bolted to the oil pan

if you drilled /tapped it while it was installed, you should remove it and clean the aluminum shavings from behind it asap.

I hand tightened them until I thought that it was tight enough. No need to try and kill them
