V-65 oil mod thoughts

Judging by the lack of comments I don´t think anyone gives a rat´s Harley but this thing is becoming a delightful engineering exercise. It keeps my 76 yr. old carpsuckles moving. I got a long 10X1.25MM bolt to drill out with full neck diameter to screw into the top inadequate oil hole, but found no banjo fittings available. Luckely this is Monday and Ron´s Cycleland is closed in Tulsa so I couldn´t buy another oil harness for the fitting. It was then I discovered that banjos are NOT larger in the center ID as I thought. They are cylindrical. This means my full diameter unthreaded portion wouldn´t allow oil to transfer bottom to top and I am unwilling to reduce the diameter with big holes to permit oil flow. My plan now is to unsolder the current banjo replacing it with a 1/2\\
