02 monster 750 Oil Cooler line

[redxblack]

I was hoping someone might know the best and least expensive source for an oil cooler line. Mine is leaking between the braid and the fitting. I tried the local salvage yards and nothing. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the help. I called Chris and he directed me to Summit Racing, so I'll be headed there this evening. 

edit: I found a pair of lines on ebay for an ss800. Checked the part nos and it's the same pair of lines so I got them cheap. The dealer quoted me $140 for the right side line. I got both for around $50 w/ 4k miles on them. I'm guessing in a pinch I could use the left over line as a spare.

Before I go slap these on the bike, is there anything I should be aware of? Should I be using a torque wrench for this fitting, or would a regular wrench do the job? I know I have to be aware of the rubber O rings.

Main thing is not to overtighten.  No torque wrench is needed. 

This is always hard to tell in words, but "snug".  MAke sure it's tight enough to stay put, but don't overtighen.  The o-ring fittings will seal up just fine.  The tapered "AN" fittings are designed to mate with one another and if you overtighten, then they will be damaged.

I would also shoot some brake cleaner through the lines to make sure no debris got in there during shipping.  Make sure they're clean.

Thanks for the feedback. The salvage yard was really close (45 mins away), so I just rode down and picked them up. They were in perfect shape and I cleaned them out anyway.

no leaks, runs great. it's all
