    I'm installing a HD Fatboy tank on my 82 Seca 750 bobber. I have one ? The original petcock has 2 fuel lines coming off it main n reserve. Petcock for fatboy tank has 1. Can I do 2 into 1 into the new Petcock or can I eliminate the reserve line? Thanks all help is grateful.

    I'm getting ready to get rid of the shocks n the brace the shock mounts to. I do have one ? And probably should have found this out before I started cutting. But how can I find the original ride height?

    my xj750k manual lists my minimum ground clearance as 5.3 inches. I am guessing that is under the factory exhaust collector.
