An ungusseted swing arm can be a problem if you have a modern motorcycle to compare it to. That said you really have to ride hard to notice you are riding on a wet noodle. In my 40's I noticed things like that. Not anymore. I spend a lot more time enjoying where I'm riding than I do chasing other crazy mofos around in the hills and valleys. Any oil rated hose of the correct diameter and PSI rating will work on the oil filter and tank feed to the motor. Neither of those lines are high pressure. I cut and wrap another piece of hose to fit over the main lines where they make contact with the frame or gearbox. That said I'm not riding a Commando, so I can get away with just about any barnyard engineering fix.
