Best Mod ever for quick, no mess oil changes for your 9*0

Just because ... I sent off for CJ's hose.

+ CJ does excellent work and I will have a part that will be done right. Making these hoses seem easy but can be a PITA.

That the other modification that they've been talking about in this thread. You have to do a little (careful) grinding of this part to make the extended hose fittings work...

Great video Geek. I think they cut away just before he cursed what a pain it is to get the OVAL hose he just created into the Fitting, and the nipple into the deformed hose end now.....

W/ the correct cutter it goes much better and you end up w/ parts that fit together better and your thumb doesn't look like a pin cusion when you stick it with all those sharp stainless wires.

As for the breaded hose kits.
My kits come w/ a clear poly covered stainless braided hose. It looks great and will keep anything rubbing against it from damage.

I could have gone w/ the Push lock rubber hose as both are plenty strong for this task, but I felt the stainless looked better for the same price. I also found a tank fitting that has a slightly larger ID for faster flow when it comes to drain time making your future services even less time consuming.

A paper template is included in the DIY kits to lay over the bracket and mark for your bracket mod.

DIY Kits started to ship out today w/ more being built and ready to ship Mon.

Thanks,
cj

I was going to call you this morning Craig but I needed some other stuff from Summit already so I just tacked these bits on to my order.
BTW if you are ordering just the stuff listed; after summit racing adds on their $9.95 handling fee the total is $48.48.

You'd be an idiot not to buy one for $50 from CJ instead

Like a Chisel and Vise..... No worries buddy.

Eedjit? - absolutely....
....if you're hell bent on doing it yourself (and haven't already got one) don't forget the $50-$60 for a cheapo cutoff tool (and maybe one of those nice coiled air hoses to go with it - 'cause they look useful).
Oh and having done that, you might get all excited/enthusiastic and decide there could well be a flurry of maintenance activity in the near future; so what's really required is more tool storage; how about a roll away tool chest? And doesn't that bike lift looks like an excellent companion to the tool box . Even buying the cheap Chinese knockoffs you're still looking at well over $1k.
All in all quite an expensive mod!
On the plus side, that old basketball goalpost that's too long to throw in the trash - and as a consequence has been laying under the deck for a year or two - is now looking decidedly vulnerable.

Douf

CJ,
Is it to late to order one of your kits?

I did my last "tin foil oil change" today.

I can't wait to do the next one

Nope, Just send me an email through ADVrider.

CJ, Any chance of getting the fittings re-anodized in Orange / Black?

I know I'm addicted to farkling and I cannot lie!

Maybe.....but I won't be doing another batch of Orange Ano until next months run of parts though. For the special run of these colors I'd have the bump the price up $6 each hose kit. I could offer the Tank fitting and the blug in Orange. Keep me posted and If anyone else wants this custom setup send me an email. I'd need pre-payment for the custom run.

No problem... You're not the only one, I think there might be one or two more out there too???

Heck even though this post started because of me when Justpaul saw my bike, I might let myself tempted by an orange fitted line:huh

bring it over. I will install it for free (I owe ya that much)

I'm jet lagged and can't sleep! What am I doing in Europe at 4:30am? Advrider!!!!
Thanks Qwik.

Sounds good to me! Just let me know how you want to handle payment and I'll take care of it.

Anyone ever thought of connecting the valve to the other end of the hose, just a thought. I'm sure those parts can be had to adapt it up, or possibly a 1/4" or smaller ball valve in pipe thread would work. Like all the attention this getting from the KTM
DIY network.

your more than welcome geek. thanks for all your posts on your adventure van thread...

you gotta stop posting that pic of you doing 100+ miles an hour on the dirt.. I do that on the dirt with the girl on the back

Uhm, Paul. thats not 100.

we were fully loaded... panniers, camping gear, food, water for 14 days.. plus that huge fu*cking windshield

Hey.. something's missing here...

I don't know which one of you hosers (pun!) bought the last RUS-670513 (black metric to AN6 convertor) but mine is on back order until mid February
