Ummm if you are ordering some stainless made up hose I can't help you there. If you don't have a parts manual it's a big help to buy one since it will usually have that data in it. (my Dyna parts manual does).
You could go down to Ace Hardware and buy 3 inches of 2 different sizes and bring it home and try it to see which fits better. The hose is only like 30 cents a foot where I live.
The smaller one is 1/4" id and the larger is 3/8" id ensure any hose that you use is suitable for oil and and the temperatures that the system will be subjected to
i can give you the hd part numbers but they sell it in 25 ft rolls however a dealer should be able to supply in suitable lengths

You can opt for double wall hose or silicone hose from Napa or other Auto supply stores:s
