Yup, the Yamaha quad ATV Raptor is the first drop in replacement we identified, way back then it cost $15 to buy from Bike Bandit, but has since skyrocketed up to $24 (everybody kept buying them I guess).

Since then, we have found LONG DROP ATV petcocks on several other bikes, and we found some on Ebay (parts coming in from China).

So far the short drop (stubby) ATV petcocks don't work because of the lip on our tank.

We need the LONG DROP petcocks to clear this tank lip and to provide enough room to get your gloved hand in there in the wintertime.

Is this a long or short drop? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/330695040035?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1...

Try Ron Ayers and see how the shipping to Canada works out...Aeyy!

They are the cheapest I have found for the factory Raptor Petcock.

$16 shipping to Canada according to their website FAQ. Still cheaper on ebay. I don't mind paying ~$30. That's just how it goes north of 49!
