All
Bike is done. I haven't done a build thread as most of you would have grown old and died in the time it's take to complete the build. Anyway, it's back and passed the MOT, and I'm now dealing with teething problems.
It has an SR500 tank mounted, with an aftermarket ALFA non-vacuum petcock. The clearance is limited to I've had to put a spacer under the tank mount, but still left it too tight and I think the petcock has been vibrating against the engine causing a fuel leak.
I'd like to drop the tank down to the height I wanted, so I'm thinking of running an inline fuel value with a pingel tank plate adapter. I just wanted to poll opinion to see if anyone else has done this, or knows of a really short petcock for an SR500 tank.
Here's a photo of the old girl (not my garage)
