So I ordered the bike bandit fuel petcock a while ago and never actually used it. I finally replaced it yesterday as my old one would leak everywhere when set to prime and it would sometimes not flow properly with vacuum applied on res or on. So head aches all around.
So I finally replaced it. The petcock they use is not a direct stock replacement. It fits in the same spot, holes are the same size, and it seals just fine. However both the fuel and vacuum lines are moved a bit and the fuel line ends up being about 1/4 inch from the valve cover. The vacuum line i had on there still worked... but just wanted to give everyone a heads up.
If you have anything funky near your valve covers(No idea what you might have) this won't fit. Its a tight fit
