Replace: oil, fuel, throttle, choke, clutch cables and hoses on a Sportster

Turning a Sportster into a Touring Machine - Part Five: Replacing Oil Hoses, Fuel Line, and all Cables
My sportster is almost all original and almost 20 years old. It's safe to assume that some of it's parts are.... past their expiration date. One of my big fears is an expensive break down while thousands of miles from home. So as preemptive medicine one of the aspects of this Sportster's conversion to touring status is to replace as many items that deteriorate over time. And anything good I take off will then be a backup in my emergency repair kit.
In this video we will replace all the rubber oil lines, fuel lines, and cables on the bike and in the process also lubricate, tighten and repair as wo go along the way.

Why not use the old oil for the filter gasket??? Works great on Cars, Trucks, etc. etc. Those factory hose clamps will pinch the hose less resulting in less chance of developing a leak and unequal hose tension on each connection point.
