I wanted to put petcocks on that had filters in the tank instead of the inline filter i was using. Bought a couple but wasnt liking them so I turned a couple little pieces that press fit into the original petcocks & a snug push fit for the filter. The older brass ones are so much better looking than the ones I bought. Couple more small things to do & ill be taking it down the road.

Took the bike down the road today. It was short lived cause the rear brake wasnt grabing. Must still have air in it. It certainly felt like it pulled strong. I also found out the cap on the mag is grounding out when installed, probably gonna have to pull it to fix the problem.
