Real flame, but it burns bio ethanol ( not the gel type but pure liquid ) kicks out a fair bit of heat, no flue needed.Is it real or very convincing imitation?
Because.... no hearth stone on a wooden floor, and where does the flue go?

Banging day in the office/garage fitting rectifiers to bikes.... total schoolboy error on the sxv (Squashed the fuel pipe) - fitted the Rec/Reg put it all back together....no start...thought it was the new unit - took it all apart, lifted the tank....fired up instantly....put the tank back down....cut out....lifted the tank, refitted the new Rec - jobs a good'un....all back together....
Made some improvements along the way.... on the rsv, spaced the new unit off the inner side of the fairing, swapped out the rusty old bolts with some Ti bolts i had knocking about...
Had to re-press a plug but thats about it....easy stuff....Zed was easy too....took longer to take it apart ....
SXV didnt take much worth [Rookie mistake aside] either...
Hyper was the most work....they shipped it with the wrong plug but lucily i had some spares from the Honda build/restoration....plus ive not had the front off for a little while so it all needed a good clean.
Summer job on the Hyper will be going down to Hel to get some custom oil lines made up....those are frentubo ones which arent great...
Anyway....good day all in all....its been sunny all day and literally all day ive heard siren's helicopters and exhausts so kinda happy to be getting some garage therapy...

So, do HEL make oil lines then? There’s an HEL partner/reseller/manufacturer in NI who I’ve bought various brake lines from over the years (I’m forever having to replace multistrada front brake caliper link pipes
) and I asked them about making up an oil line for me once but they said they can’t do it 
. It would be useful to know if HEL HQ say it can be done.
As an option, depending upon exactly you are looking for there is a seller on Ebay, Torques who are in South Wales, Swansea I think, who sell a vast array of hoses & quality alloy fittings that you can buy, cut to exactly whatever length you want & then fit the end fittings to connect up your oil lines/oil cooler/filter.
They have various adaptors to get from metric threads to standard JIC AN-* fittings. The anodised fittings are either blue & red, all red, all blue & black. There are also stainless steel fittings.
Ideally you do need a certain amount of tools though, mainly good quality cutters, to cut the various hose types square & neatly & imperial spanners to tighten the fittings onto the hose ends. For oil lines on motorcycles the hose/fitting 6AN size, (around 3/8" or 9mm), should be large enough for most "normal" applications & spanner sizes 1/2", 9/16" & 11/16" would fit most of the fittings for this size hose. You can buy specific alloy spanners for these fittings, but I feel they are a bit soft whenever I tried using them so I tend to stick to using normal spanners with a bit of masking tape around the hexagonal faces.
