Looking at the workshop manual (from 1970 - 750 and 850) theres a nice colour picture (Fig C29) that shows the duel connection tubes that fit to the engine, the one nearest the outside of the bike is the supply (blue) coming from the filter banjo feed off the side of the oil tank and the pipe to the inside of the bike is the return (red)goes via the filter then to the pipe just below the main oil tank filler neck.

Considering this is somewhat important (!) - I'd ask for validation that what I see and write is correct please?

Regards - Paul.
