      the fuel comes outta the right side petcock...comes across the top of the air box boots....(with a fuel filter)....then dips down between carbs #1 and #2.....in this picture, the fuel flows upwards over the boot of carb #1 and into the "t" between carbs #1 and #2.....ya might have to separate the carbs and turn the "t" that supplies the fuel upwards to do this, but makes the fuel line routing very easy....better than doing that down and back up to get fuel to the carbs.....hope this helps...ross
      Hey Ross...sorry I am just now responding. Thanks for the suggestion. For now, I guess I figured out how to get them in there as the bike ran great all weekend.

      I'm pretty much in a phase where I just want to ride, ride, ride since the New England weather for riding is limited. When October hits, I will go into rebuild mode and start fixing the little things, unless I start having problems with the kinking again.

      Knock on wood...my SG is running really good at this time.

      Thank you to everyone else for the replies.

        Don it is hard living in the north. I feel like you I just want to ride. The winter seems too long. If I could just find a heated space to work on the bikes in the winter maybe it wouldn't seem so long.
