Does anyone know where I could get a set of replacement molded oil hoses for a '96 FatBoy?

If you had the part # you could search on Ebay or Toms NOS parts.

I was able to order one from a dealer last year. About $15

Was told that they are no longer available from the factory.

check around with the part numbers,some may still  be available some dealer might have on the shelf
if you can't get oem rubber drag specialties has braided kits

Others have suggested to get a piece of rubber oil line and use an external spring to keep it round (no kinks) as you twist it to that required routing. PITA for sure. Maybe I got lucky but it seemed like it was no issue to order from my dealer. I could try if you like....? Send it to ya and all that stuff. Send me a PM if you like. Happy to help.

Thanks for the offer Flhfxd, will try a different dealer and look for someone with stock. If no luck I will take you up on that offer.

It's a lot easier to Google the part #.

I don't have a softie parts book or I'd offer it up.

FTBY55,

I am looking for replacements for my 1998 Superglide. What did you come up with? I have been searching for factory replacements and haven't found any either. I am thinking of going with something like this....  http://www.dragspecialties.com/products/?productId=468806&partNumber=07110042  I would rather have black but I guess we have to go with what is available.

fyi
i have a 94 dyna conv and started replacing hoses and rubber a couple of years ago before parts started getting scarce.
had a problem last year trying to replace the brake lines
if you plan on keeping your bike replace anything of age and possibly start collecting parts, the after market just goes so far.
you can google the part numbers maybe someone has stock, you can also ask a harley dealer to check other dealers through  the country
good luck

The thicker the wire the better.

At wits end so ready to try the heat gun. What type rubber hose and will the heat deteriorate the rubber in any way?

thumper 823

Use hose designated for oil, heat until malleable, no more.
Let cool off pull wire , done
