If you use clear tubing instead of black rubber, it's easy to check oil flow.

Hello, can someone please confirm which way I should be fitting my short section rocker oil feed banjo 42-0139 onto the oil tank on the 1958 GF. The banjo has different diameters on either side - do I fit the smaller diameter against the oil tank and the larger diameter against the stepped nut or vice versa?
Any comments much appreciated.
Many thanks.
Peter

I was told a long time ago to occasionally put a finger over the return in the tank to send more oil to the rockers.. maybe a load of xxxx but i have always done this (before the oil gets too hot) mind I have only had the bike for 52 years so still on a learning curve!!!
