    is time for me to run the oil lines on my bike..

    with all the custom work done am doing all the bending myself

    i have all the stainless to do the job but liked the look of copper better.

    so my question...can copper be used as oil lines???

    cheers sean....

    Copper is ok, but can quite easily fracture with vibration and movement. You will often see copper lines have a loop in them for this reason. Another way is to have a small rubber hose section where the line meets the fitting to isolate them
