However, I still hate the "lever" as I can't move it with gloves on and I ride a lot in colder weather. I am thinking of mfg. my own lever, but not like the one pictured above!! I just don't like my "knobs" hanging out there like that!

Ok everyone the fuel petcock is Yamaha. It is any petcock that crossreferences with the o'ring seal that goes to the 660 raptor. "Partzilla" I happened to have it laying around from my Tri-FZ450 project. I wasn't going to buy a new one for a 660 that cost $23.00. And I don't like how they look. So as anyone would know that has a 06 yfz450 , the knob on them sticks WAYY OUT.!.! so I took the plastic knob off and made a new one that's 304 stainless steel. It's about 2 hours of work that I like a lot more than the stock one. It doesn't stick out but .400 . Not anymore than a raptor knob would. This one is pretty easy to turn with riding gloves on.
Have plenty of info on this if anyone else wants to do this swap.

I have a raptor incoming but I'd be into doing something like this. Also a machinist.
