XS with Parts N More petcock?

[drgonzo]

Anyone have a picture of their XS with a Parts N More petcock and adapter plate? I need to get an idea of the physical size of the petcock and if there will be clearance for my VM34s.

I don't have a picture, but if you're talking about part no. 20-0100 with 3/8" NPT spigot, experience says it should clear. You'd need to open the fuel hole in the tank quite a bit. You might consider saving more sealing surface by using a 1/4" NPT petcock and making your own adapter plate, it's not that hard.

Thanks for that info!

The price is ridiculous, but If you don't have access to a drill press or just don't want to fabricate, Pingel offers 1/4" NPT adapters with mounting holes either 44 or 46 mm. apart. www.pingelonline.com

There's a fine line opening the tank to accept the 3/8" Pingle to where you can't go back to a stock setup. I can show you........
