    Holey crapolee, I'm retired, not wealthy I think I'll be doing the inline ball valve cheapskate version.

    Oops, forgot the special petcock already has an off position. Even easier!

    Bone stock 1980 Special except for the exhaust and crashbars. Oh yeah, and the scabbard for the Winchester Defender.

      Yep, I was hesitant to pay that much at first but the piece of mind not having to wonder at 3AM if I turned the damn petcock off was way worth it. After having one for a week, I ordered another one for the other bike. No regrets. Good luck with your project.

        This may work, it's an elt. fuel valve.

          Red, do you think a 1/4" inlet and outlet would flow enough fuel? I'm looking at this one.

            I think it will. I got this link from a Honda Valkyrie rider. It works on a 1500 cc Valkyrie.
