Title: petcock
Post by luken on 04/04/09 at 22:39:05

I finally got back to working on the bike. I have found that I need a new petcock or else I have to cross my fingers and run on res. OEM they are going for about $60, anyone know of an after market solution?

HAHAHA... the easiest way to replace the petcock is to replace the tank with a harley tank... petcocks are a dime a dozen and tanks are easy to come by too!

A new tanks...thats an Idea. Would a sportster tank fit? What models would work? A bigger tank would be awsome 8-)

I'm guessing there are some photos in the picture thread?

I think most tanks require a bit of fabrication, but not to much depending on your level of skills! I have seen several pics of savages with Sportster peanut tanks!

And when my front brake pads wear out I'll fix it by getting some harley forks and new front wheel!

Ha ha, just messin' with ya. Good job on the tank mod.

Only limited by who you know and how much extra cash you have laying around lol. Something can always be fabricated to work. OH yeah and poop on Harley for their hard to find 13/16" NPT stuff. I live in a rather large city and couldn't find one thing local to work with my petcock. I had to search online and ended up getting the new weld in bung from justified defiance.

So why do the stock petcocks fail? Is it a plastic on metal design issue where the plastic wears out prematurely?

They have to be lubed and used,other wise they get tight,I've never had one fail.Use some Sea Foam in the gas that lubes from the inside,and lube the outside too.

I went with the Raptor and haven't had any problems with it. I think it was something like $12. Just gotta remember to turn it off.

I could be wrong. I pulled the number out of a very foggy brain. I just remember it not being too much. I can't even remember now where I ordered it from, and the box it came in is long gone. Not having to worry over the petcock...priceless.
