not quite sure the purpose of that is, since these bikes only push 5psi max, and almost nothing warmed up.
Looks like two appropriate sized banjo bolts for the top, some sorta puzzle to connect those lines, a "y", then down to union joint. Looks cool though, just not necessary.
 
be carefull. those anodized fittings scratch real easy if you use the cheap ones. Scrounge around on JEG"S website, might find a all in on kit.
 
The bottom one is the hard one to find . But I bought from JEGS
Bottom is 14mm all rest are easy. There is a name on them looks like Russle fittings
 
It may be a while, just getting started on the build. It should look like the first picture.

That's awesome! I was wanting to do the same on my build, but hadn't found much out there about braided oil lines. Seeing it, yep, I'm gonna do it...along with the brake lines, and even the clutch, speedo and throttle cables. I think it'll look killer on my all glossy black and chrome bobber. Thanks for the pics and info!!!!
 
I looked at the very same thing for my build and it was going to be cost prohibitive to make. However I have one of these now from Heiden

As long as you keep the orifice size on the bottom fitting coming out of the case the same size. If you open it up the bottom end will be starved of oil.
