Std practice in MC carb's. Removing them has a tendency to make them loose when you try to stick them back in. But.... there is always JB weld..

Just like all other bikes, but has anybody here ever actually removed one? I might end up with a lot of pulling in case one is actually screwed in for any reason jap engineers saw fit

You are right, it should.

I am planning some modifications this winter. One of them is replacing (almost) all rubber hoses with 6mm and 8mm copper leads. This includes a mini banjo fitting for fuel inlet and screw-on brass/copper fittings for others (vacuum and 2x vent). Like old tractors and steam machines had. Copper, brass, black paint and shiny steel is the pattern.
To do that, I need to yank the ols ones and buy (or machine) ones I want. It's just an idea, but I need the know-how before it turns into a plan.

I am rethinking the fuel inlet now because of vibrations... as I said - just an idea. Help is still appreciated.

Yes. Like this guy did:

That's a savage also. Unbelievable... Notice the small scooter rotor/calliper on the drive pulley?

I could also leave fittings as they are and use a short section on rubber hose as a flange for the copper piece... I will see.

That is a very sick custom. Some people have incredible vision.

You are so welcome. I found so much good stuff on this forum, it was about time to make up Wink

Yeah, whoever is in the chop/bob/mod business - do browse through that whole site www.amdchampionship.com there's a bunch of ideas there. Take time and check out the one called Nautilus in 2008! Now, that's sick! Specially the side stand, hahaha.
