Hey peanut, I am using the stock 750 petcocks. I cleaned and rebuilt them but have not tested them yet. I suspect they will work as well as any other Yamaha petcock that is to say, barely adequate.
That cap is awesome but a bit beyond my fabrication skills. I used the 750 cap but used the tumbler from my 650 so I could keep the same key.
What are you doing for a seat? Rear fender?
Ha !... yeah its beyond my skills too
Good to hear that the locks will switch so I can keep the existing key.
I haven't had a chance to inspect the tank properly yet so I don't even know if the cocks are vacuum or not .
I shoved it into the garage quickly when it arrived so that the Boss didn't see it. ...'what's that ? why do you need another rusty tank cluttering up the place etc etc '... actually shes real good about my little purchases
I did think about buying a Tig welder and learning to microweld but I can't see it happening any time soon. It would be real useful to weld thin car body panels too.
I have a standard xs650 side hinged seat stored somewhere and I'm hoping I can make it fit the existing hoop somehow with a little brute force and jiggery pokery but I haven't offered them up the frame together yet.
How much longer is the 750 tank than the 650 ? perhaps it might be possible to reposition the seat hinges on the seat
