Oil Tank

lhickman · May 2, 2013

I have a 1972 Norton Commando. I need a little help on the oil line hookup for tank to the motor, breather and chain lube. There is an inline filter inside the tank, no external cartrage filter.

Maybe this will help:

There is a oil line routing schematic at Old Britts also:

These are from Old Britts website, very helpful. You will need to get a manual for your bike also. I believe there is a link to one in the Technical Information and how to at the top of this forum.

I expect he means the banjo strainer gauze.

You need to look harder.

Thank you all, this helped

For curiosity, if your using an external filter, do you really need that mesh tank filter?

If you take the oil cap off you run the risk of the odd leaf getting in plus a seized engine may send crap up the breather pipe. Its not going to do any harm left there anyway.

Mmmm... good points Kommando, now thinking about it abit more, sump pickups in cars tractors etc have this mesh aswell.
