Bought all my bsa db34 oil filter pieces from morgo ,https://www.morgo.co.uk/product-category/morgo-oil-filter-kit/ . They are the smallest you will find and easily hidden .

I have to say the Morgo set up (and the  sheer variety of banjos and brackets look very good.
I used a Norton Commando filter in the return line of my ABSAF engine (I had them on my Triumph Daytona for years and the filter elements are commonplace) I used 5/16 copper/nickel pipes shaped to suit with split rubber pipe cable tied at crucial points to avoid rubbing. 
My filter is in the tool box with the electronic regulator so I had to drill the back to allow pipes in and out and fitted rubber grommets to the holes (I used a greenlee punch for neatness. Did take pics but I doubt you would see much. I replaced my armoured pipe with stainless braided covered pipe as far as the tank.
If doing it again now it strongly consider the Morgo (again always fitted their pumps to my Triumphs) arrangement assuming I could confirm long term availability of the filter elements.

The oil filter elements are a standard Hiflofiltro HF197. Here is one with the Morgo label peeled off.

Hi I am hoping you are in the UK and can let me know who supplied your stainless braided pipe and are the ends of the braiding neatly tucked away many thanks Chris

Hi
I just trawled through ebay listings and this is a typical one, I wanted stainless cover and stainless clips with the rubber covers, there are a few sellers and if you look carefully you will find sellers that will make up the lengths you want for very reasonable fees this one is just for a meter with clips either end but you can find more specific ones:
