Or it causes the inner liner in the pickup supply hose to collapse with out the outside cover showing it. I think those are a multi layer hose. You have exhausted almost all other options. It might be worth dropping the bottom off the oil tank for a look. Having a totally defective pump is unlikely.
I have done some checking and I think my suspicions are correct. I think the part number of the pump included with the kit is a stock 06 twin cam pump. I believe they went to a high volume pump that year. I can't find reference to any newer oil pump on the online catalogues. I was looking at the manuals of a 07 engine and I do not think the old pump will mate up to the new cam plate the inlet port has been moved.

Hello Howdy Hi There cts1950...
Grasping at straws...
hell yeah budd, i`m VERY open minded to ANY and ALL idea`s... ANYTHING is worth an extra look or a check over.
I pulled the pan last night... its super clean (i think the oil & filter changed every 2,000 miles had alot to do with that...lol)
The hose`s are in perfect shape (i checked them for hardness, softness and cracks... they`re good as new hose`s)
You`re correct, the old pumps wont fit the SE billit camplate.
(i was pretty much already aware of that when i compared them side by side)
Defective pump or camplate...? (you`re right, probably unlikely, but IS possible)

The pump is stamped 06 (it definately is the NEW Hi-Volume pump)
The part number to the whole SE billit kit is: 25283-07
According to the P&A book, this kit fit`s the 99 to 05 dyna`s & softails.

Juzz dunno buddie,
i`m just as dumbfouned with this as everybody else involved in this deal is.
I`ve checked everything so many times, i`m having nightmare`s over it...lol

I wanna tell you that i so very much appreciate ALL your help, thoughts and idea`s...
i am NO WAY ready to give up on this bike... somethin`s gotta give, sooner or later,
but it sure as hell wont be me...lol.
