    I ran a set up similar to this for many years on my KZ1000 MKII. It never leaked a drop of oil.

          But yeah that's it #20 in the diagram x 2. unobtainable. My hoses even have all 4 of the original mounting clamps with the rubber insulators so no cutting for me, good enough for yamaha engineers then good enough for me in this case unless one of the hoses leaks then maybe I'll consider it an option.

            That was caused by this bike.

              You will have to fabricate what you need. I usually use cardboard to make a template and use it to make the final part out of steel.

                This does not look too complicated to replicate.

                  I have one installed from an 81 onto a 78. It really makes it a pain in the ass to check valve clearances. I installed it because of the fact that traffic jams can really cause a lot of heat build-up. In those situations, I wonder if it makes matters worse because of the heat from the down-pipes.
