I appreciate both your input, parts ordered. I wonder if I can find a 22mm to 6mm union, that I could screw directly into the tank. Tank to reducer to hose to quick-connect to hose to elbow adapter to hose to pump.

Seriously considering this adapter. Being 90° should help with the space issue. I then can attach any 22mm (correct?) female fuel tap. Or even a fuel disconnect. I did consider replacing the O-rings as suggested, but the machining is a deal breaker. Thoughts?

Not only can we get these reducers in straight or angled, we can also get the petcocks with different direction outlets. What's more, none of this cost very much. Considering what gas cost and how much I lose every time I remove the tank.

…yes, revisiting. Can someone confirm the OEM outlet and inlet sizes, please? Is it 22m/12m? Maybe we buy any of our choosing of 22m petcocks, then use this adapter to overcome the 1/4 to 1/2 outlet hurdle. https://www.amazon.com/Beduan-Reducer-Reducing-Fitting-Splicer/dp/B08P4D63S2?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&smid=A2Q5DK7IXTJEDM&th=1

Monday morning update. I successfully replaced all of my fuel line clamps with actual FI clamps. So now my leaking hoses are taken care of, my new riser handlebars are installed, and my newly fitted Andreani forks are ready. So I crank the ignition, it starts for a moment or so then dies. I crank until the battery is dead. I charge the battery and upon retrying to start it, I notice I never unplugged the fuel line to the regulator. I immediately realize the worst of it. By repeatedly cranking a plugged line, I blew the fuel pump. Ordered a new one, due here in a week. #fail

Still not riding. I installed the Andreanni forks, no seal leaks. Installed my new adjustable bars by rerouting, rather than replacing the cables. It now steers clear, very pleased! However, I didn't test it yet because, once again my worm gear hose clamps are failing. I sprung a fuel injector hose leak and although I tightened it, it still leaks. The clamp is now stripped. Easy enough fix right? I now bought actual fuel injector clamps, being delivered today. The tough part is access. I now need to remove the tank, air box, etc. Grrr!

I've been avoiding this thread, as I couldn't watch the GP until last night. OH BOY! fantastic race, so enjoyed it, and in Texas too! The USA needed a good showing, what a track. My man Brad Binder did not fair well, but BatMav and Pedro kept me cheering just the same. It was such a good race, so many passes, I didn't even care who won. I also follow SX and my fave, Cooper Webb won so it was a great weekend of racing for me. I also follow MMA, but my fave Justin Gaethje did not fair so well.

I have not used this rectifier, however https://4into1.com/ is a reputable site, of which I've ordered from in the past.

Fork exchange. #andreanni

I ordered this cable and had no luck getting it to clear the throttle linkage. I'm not sure why, but eventually gave up.

AntiGravity has BMS. Seriously though, you would be hard pressed to find any common moto battery without it these days.

I saw this posted this morning, that scheme is spectacular! …and I absolutely love my Vintage Rosso paint scheme.

Factory Manual calls for 400mm of fluid. If Traxxion springs are the same as Marzocchi springs, then I believe you're running too little fluid. Or am I missing another factor?

For 40mm Marzocchi forks, with Andreani cartridges, X is 350mm (110mm airgap). Stock cartridges is 400mm. @docc For 100mm air gap, you mentioned 330mm, for Traxxion cartridges, correct?

I change my mind, I agree with @GuzziMoto Always stick with the K.I.S.S. principle.

my guess, bad ground.

I do absolutely love the tank scheme though, elegant and classic.

I do agree with removing launch control, both in Street and Dirt. These things are unsafe and causing many accidents when it doesn't disengage. With no suspension, they approach the turn and have no control. It happens so often in both MotoGP and SX/MX that many are opposed to them now. I believe it was on https://www.youtube.com/@gypsytalespodcast9369 the many changes that can be made for better spectator experience, without anyone noticing it is slower, or less jump heights, etc. The changes would result in closer racing, more lead changes, etc. and far more safer for moto-pilots. (pilots– this is my preferred term for riders.) I'm hoping it will catch on.

I read some of these details in this week's CycleNews, I'm not sure how I feel about some of these proposed changes. I feel the traction and wheelie control should stay. Or anything that helps bring better products to market. MotoGP, now American owned, but no US pilots, hmmm…

Update: I spoke with Andreani and discussed my seal, bushes, and cartridge r&r. So this morning, I bought a single fork leg to replace mine. I found a guy just north of my home that had the exact side and size I needed. He works at Scotties's and is a Guzzisti as well. I'm told everything is perfect and could be put in the bike and used as-is. I'll have to pull his internals and replace with mine though, to do so is merely removing the top cap and lower allen and swapping in the Andreani cartridge. I'll top off with new fluid and I should be good to go. I'll of course still need to sort my new clip-ons, and the cable/line length limitations. I'm hoping to just reroute them, rather than replace with longer.

Dress for crashing, not comfort.

All of my street-riding jackets have these, and my dirt-riding clothes are damn near bubble wrap at this point. Without them, I'd feel naked, and not nearly as muscular. After watching this video (huge fan of F9) I disagree. If I bang my elbow into the wall with or without, I already know what one will hurt far more. It would be nice to have less weight in the jacket though, cooler as well.

Good morning everyone, and Happy Easter. Yesterday's fork upgrade did not go well. After far too many hours of strain and frustration, I poured some rum and watched Supercross to relax! Without naming all the particular things that went wrong, I'll sum up by saying I think I need a right-side (when seated) fork leg. I replaced the seal, left if on it's side for 3-4 hours, no leaks. No sooner than it's mounted on the bike, it's leaking. It could be I nicked the seal however Andreani stated this particular fork leg had wear signs, on opposites sides. After it was measured, it proved to be well within specs. I'm not sure what to guess. He said the leg had very little fluid when he received it, however I never notice any leaks prior to sending to them. Compounding the problem, I used this time to finally mount my adjustable clip-ons, as they mount on the forks, between each triple tree. I put them on backward, so it was difficult to tighten the allen bolts. Then, I discover I'll have to purchase longer cables and lines, or be forced to reroute them. However to do this, it seems the headlight may have to come off. Before I know it, then entire front end will be on the workbench. My first item to deal with is the leg and seal. Shall I take it somewhere to help access the wear marks, and install the seal? GuzziTech is near, however pricey. I'm more than able to mount the seal, even determine if the leg is bent, and I'm all for saving money. Your thoughts?
