    Found some old Omars Glass

    That paint is awesome. I'd rock the hell out of it.

    I got them both with the help of a friend steadying the bike. Took a 2' breaker bar and my foot on the front wheel, but I got them. Oil changed and filter cleaned. If the weather holds, I'll ride it to the vintage bike night this Thursday.

    Your best mods.

    What bike(s) is that rotor from?

    Still haven't gotten the drain plugs loose (haven't rounded up the help yet), but I did oil the filters and went from 2.5 to 3.5 turns on the mixture screws. On the first real ride, I noticed some low/mid range .... we'll, let me rephrase this.... low/mid seemed OK, but it was REALLY happy up...

    Rotated the bars forward a bit and swapped out the mirrors for a bar end. Been trying to break loose the drain plug(s) for an oil change and losing that battle. It's especially hard with no center stand and one set of hands. I tried using a wheel chock and the damn thing still fell over. Might...

    The P.O. did that and it all clears fine. One thing that I WILL probably change if I keep it: that front brake line. I don't like the way it's routed but, with the ends that are on there, I can't route it like I want. May have a new one made up eventually.

    42mm manual petcocks for XS750 tank

    Different petcocks that didn't measure 40mm! LOL It's kind of odd....the old petcocks measured 42mm, but the spacing on the tank was some weird, in between.....like 44mm. I finally found a set that fit.

    Well, here she is. 1981 Cafe/Tracker thing. Been off the road for at least 8 years. Fully rebuilt the carbs, including new diaphragms. In fact, everything rubber in the fuel system is new, from the gas cap to petcocks to fuel lines. The TCI died on the first start up, so a Gonzo CDI...

    Petcock screws fiber washers

    Does anyone know of an alternative to the fiber washers that go on the petcock screws? One of mine is weeping. MikesXS has a kit with screws and washers for only a couple of bucks, but shipping is over $10. Has anyone found an alternative at Ace, Home Depot, etc.?

    42mm manual petcocks for XS750 tank

    It's not the inner sides that would need filing....it's the outer, and that would get into the groove for the sealing ring.

    42mm manual petcocks for XS750 tank

    I just figured out today which rebuild kit is correct. By the time I order rebuild kits, I can get new ones. I have another pair on order that I am going to try.

    42mm manual petcocks for XS750 tank

    Well, I went to install these and they are not 42mm as described. I get 40mm. I have checked the hole spacing on the tank and the old petcocks a hundred times and they are definitely 42mm. Every petcock I see that looks like the old ones are 46mm (note the difference in the gasket mating...

    Any reason why these wouldn't work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/303934811993?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=1qzen927QGm&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Rw4Pl01JTi2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    42mm manual petcocks for XS750 tank

    I need manual petcocks (or rebuild kits) for an XS750 tank. Mine are LH and RH, and have 42mm mounting holes. I can't find an exact match. Either the gasket surface is different, or the holes are 46mm apart. I found some TX500 petcocks that are LH and RH and 42mm, but the valve bodies look...
