Replacing a Petcock
« on: May 23, 2011, 12:34:04 PM »
Hi,

I have a gs 450 tank that I will be mounting on my CB550F. The petcock is a vacuum one, and the carbs I have are not. Also, the current petcock hangs a bit low right now. I would like some more clearance between my carbs and the petcock. So...... I was thinking of buying an adapter plate from here:

And then buying a new, non vacuum, petcock.

Has anyone done this before? are there any recommendations or suggestions? Any feedback will be appreciated.


thanks

worked like a charm! no issues so far. you may want to upgrade the gasket, as the one that comes with the petcock I purchased is kind of cheap, but other than that, perfect!
