Petcocks for XS750 tank on a 650 bike?

[drmittens]

The stock 750 petcocks are the vacuum type, the 650 petcocks do not fit the hole pattern on the 750 tank. Anyone have advice on how to go about making the 750 petcocks work with the stock 650 caburetors?
Thanks in advance for any help you can lend.

So what are you saying, you don't have vacuum nipples on your manifolds to power vacuum petcocks? Maybe this conversion will work. It's for 650 vacuum petcocks but I bet the 750 ones are very similar .....

I am saying exactly that, there are no vacuum nipples on the manifold.
Okay thank you. I learned a couple of thing here, first, that work around sounds easy and hopefully will work! Second, I was not aware of the 650wiki, that is really cool.
Thanks for the help!

There is so much out there on the World Wide Web pertaining to our 650s. The problem is, nobody bothers to look. I'm quite saddened by the fact that many 650s have fallen into numb nut's hands. lol.

- in my somewhat limited experience numbness is generally a consequence of over-exposure, newbs generally exhibit unawareness, anyone buying their first XS will either deal with it or ride tupperware, warning-entering that learning curve may prove hazardous to your other personal relationships
