    Not everyone knows the flange is different. I didnt know when I first got here. I am certainly glad I found out before I put a standard tank back on mine.

      Totally realize some folks don't know the flanges are different, I figured it went without saying in relation to the current chatter as post #6 in this thread already covered that.

      BTW, ZRX carbs have the same spacing as the XS11... http://www.xs11.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35462

        Thanks for the heads up Nate. I am currently looking for some standard petcocks, but not in a rush to find them yet. I know Mike's carries some universal petcocks with the adapter plates.

          Hi Ed,
          my special came with the octo long gone and the tank off.
          What I did was to cap off the "prime" ports and run Tygon lines from left tap to right tee and vice versa.
          That gives two fuel hoses instead of eight. Simplicity rules, OK?
