    Hey guys I was just curious to see if anyone knows where I could find this exact fuel petcock. As you can see the one that is on my bike currently is hitting the engine and won’t let the gas tank seat fully.

    @chacal has both replacement petcocks and rebuild kits.
    The Rebuild guide is in our how-to section.

    Your original has the fuel outlet installed 180º from where it's supposed to be. Should face toward the rear of the bike.

    Ok I’ll talk to him.

    I’m aware, I just held it on there to take the picture, it’s ruined.
