If you take it off to run the petcock from the left barb, use an OEM cap and clamp on the right barb. The OE quality is superior to most other offerings. Speaking for myself, I’ve had no luck with aftermarket options.
Last night, I managed four sets of four at a bit more weight than that. I’ve had some sessions with a personal trainer. She’s improving my form and getting me on track to meet my goals. My #1 goal is to live as I want to for as long as my heart is beating.

Yep! My wife could not care less about my motorcycle habit. All that shit in the garage isn’t her problem. I don’t stop her from doing whatever she wants either. She just told me she’s going to Europe. Hmmm…. The garage is full.
