Oil Lines and what they do...

[BroadBand]

Hi Guys, I am trying to fit a bad ass loud horn on an '04 BD Chopper. In doing a quick look around the existing horn area, I have found an oil line that appears to do nothing.

So, a couple of things:
On line #1, it dead-ends with no apparent function. The end piece looks like it could be relocated which would free up some room for the potential new horn. If it does not have a function, could it be capped closer to the oil tank?
Could one of our tech guys identify what each of the oil lines do - where they go?

I had the rear wheel off during a belt replacement with the dealer and the mech could not find the room for a Stebel at that time. Now I don't know if re-locating the hose end might have been an option at that time, as I was not looking over his shoulder at that time, so now I am left to wonder how hard he tried....

Here is one of the horns I am thinking about <LINK> and I still have the Stebel in case I can get it to fit.

Thanks guys for any info you can throw my way!

Your manual has a clear diagram of what each oil line does but just off the top of my head your;

#1 is your drain. This is how you drain your oil.
#2 is feed to the oil pump
#3 & 4 is return from filter and vent line from motor

Your horn is mounted in the area with a lot of room. You could also turn it parallel to the ground.

Good luck,
Ray
