1975 XS650 gets a new life...

I made a crazy DIY broach today. I wanted to be able to use the stock size woodruff key. So I made a tool to do it.

Why not do it the traditional way? I don't have access to the necessary tools, so I am using whats available.

$30 for a yamaha Petcock? Seems steep. $20 for a Harley petcock? Still seems like they're overcharging... 2 Honda petcocks for $10? Now we're talkin!

Make an adapter out of scrap, and I think we're on to something. The only downfall is the loss of a reserve...I'll just carry a 16oz fuel can in my backpack in case I run it out.

I've got a 357 my brother used to hunt squirrels with. He found out real quick you have to shoot them in the head . Otherwise there isn't enough of them left to eat.
