Won a NOS prelube system on ebay

[yolner]

Don't actually have the deuce yet (picking it up in a couple of weeks), but I've been shopping for accessories and ended up winning this pre/post lube system for $120 shipped. It's 12v so I'm thinking about running it off a third battery that I will charge through a 24v to 12v 30a conveter. I will also use the same battery to run all my other 12v stuff like GPS/phone charger. What do you guys think?

Looks like it adapts to a modern oil filter. You will have make your own hookups for the deuce. Here's a thread on the pre-lube I built for the M35. Starts nice and quiet with oil pressure up. Takes a while with stock filters to get pressure.

I'm planning on running spin on oil filters. Would that allow me to use the base that comes with the kit?

I'm thinking you'll need a remote adapter. I think the thread size with the spin on adapter is 3/4-16. I did a search earlier and did find remote adapters that are the right size.

O boy... I would get the TM's and read up on the oiling system and where the ports are. If you use the spin on it will NOT allow you to simply slap on that adapter in that old kit of yours. Take a good look at Stretch's post and what he did on his deuce.

Thanks for the tips. Which TM should I look at for info on the oiling system? I've been going through them slowly, but haven't seen the stuff you're talking about yet.
