Barons Vstar 1100 OFRK Oil Filter Relocation Kit

I installed a kit two days ago, took two hours.

Just an oil seep (minor) at lower hose fitting closest to oil filter end.

All four hose ends have a 1/16th inch hole drilled through them, no idea why as these kits are pre-assembled and come this way, in a completely sealed package.

The seeping fitting has a drilled hole on the bottom and that's where the oil seems to be originating from.

It's a double fitting with a lock nut and I'm not sure how to disassemble to get plumbers tape around it.

They all say its an easy job but actually there was not much space between the external filter and the brake fluid which was kind of a problem.

This is something i tried doing by myself but after adding the oil once job was done i had a huge oil leak. At this point i was so frustrated that i called the mechanic to toe the bike and do it for me.

What took me about 3 hours, took the mechanic 20 minutes.

Sometimes its better off to pay few bucks and let someone else get it done for you.
