Ironhead Sportster Oil Line Routing
Nice one - how's about the key lists for the numbers on the diagrams? Sorry for the rant, my wife is on my last nerve today too. The XLH from 67 on is very different and has it's feed line to the back of the oil pump and the vent line comes out of the back of the cam cover returning to the tank and the return line on the top of the right hand case. It looks like the sporty only uses 3 of them - drain, 1 to the oil. Do not vent to atmosphere this must go to the motor, usually the rear of the cam cover). Sportster oil line routing diagram. Hook up your feed line to the pump fitting and kick the motor over till oil comes out the return fitting. Another thing, gold member s bike is listed as a 72 xlch, but he has the xlh oil tank and those hose fittings are practically impossible to get mixed up. Well, maybe later once I've got them hooked up and makes sense. And are you looking to run an aftermarket/remote oil filter?
