Thanks.

I found this, is this the rebuild minus the plastic piece for it.

That is the correct kit above for the octy, the plastic center piece does not come with any of the kits, you have to reuse your own original one.

[tyhodge07]

Awesome. I'll open mine up and see whatz going on before I order. Does the plastic piece go bad often, just asking to see if it should be something I expect when I open it.

Here are the rebuild instructions:

I got some DCC Clubman bars on mine. They have a HUGE selection of bars, I really love the position the clubman's put me in. I think clip-ons would be too low, even with risers, and doesn't that also increase vibration felt? The clubman's fit really great, coming up around the gauges then dropping down. I also put bar end mirrors on mine

Pretty sure it was these

Here's a quick snap

I was looking at them bars and ended up going with straight ones. If I don't like ill reorder the ones you have which was what I wanted at first them changed last minute.

Yeah for sure. The bar's are cheap enough! Nice thing about bikes, most everything is worth gambling even if you wont like it. Definitely post pics with the straight bars, I'd like to see how that looks. What kind mirrors are you going with?

[tyhodge07]

I was wanting a single on the left handle bar, but the fiance is wanting a pair mounted high. She thinks the handle bar ones look goofy. Not sure what she is thinking.

Hey Ty,

This is a kit on Ebay, it's showing the O-rings and 4 holed valve for 2 petcocks, along with the square diaphragm for the octopus valve! However, it's not from GeorgeFix.

This is JUST the diaphragm for the valve, it also apparently fits many other bikes as well.

Okay, found GeorgeFix's ebay store, here's his petcock/diaphragm combo rebuild kit:

Thanks for the links.

For the leaking petcock it was coming from between the tank and the petcock, I priced that gasket for a few bucks the octopus I was just going to do the rebuild kit on. I did try a little more gas in it yesterday and it didn't leak at the petcock, I was still going to order 1 gasket just in case. Getting excited for the handlebars to show up hopefully tomorrow. May get started on the seat this weekend also. Along with getting the battery charged and if all goes my way it will atleasr spin the starter. Fingers crossed.

Oh if you need one of those petcock rebuild kits let me know, I ordered 2 from mikesXS thinking I needed one per side, to find the kit contains parts to rebuild both petcocks and the octopus and 2 extra o rings I have no idea what are for lol I'd let you have it for a song if you want it. I removed the octopus on mine and added some quick connect lines to the carbs for easy removal

I'll take it if he doesn't want it...I just started to see some seeping from my right petcock and they haven't worked perfect in a while. I just haven't ordered the kits because I've had enough on my plate but I know it needs done (plus I will get a chance to shine them up)

[tyhodge07]

Hey, thanks for the offer. I could use the left one (if they are even different) and can toss you a few bucks. Just one and pass on the other if you want. Thanks, this site has been great.

Ok, got the battery charged and put back in. I have no headlight high or low, the push start does nothing. Can't check brake light or turn signals since I have them off. I jumped the starter and it engaged and did a slight turn and stopped. What do I need to look for to fix the stuff not working. Fuses are all good, grounds are good, etc. Would no turn signals and brake light prevent the button from working? And yes I am trying to start in neutral.
