Hey Gang!

Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2008 5:51 pm

New to the forum and I wanted to introduce myself.

The names Tim and I am in Gilbert, AZ. I recently sold a Road King Classic and my wife surprised me with a project `80 CB900C for my B-day. She scored it for $150..... I know, huh!

I am am going to be scouring this forum for assistance from top to bottom and will probably be asking questions galore.

First question I have, would be, are there any after market petcocks and filters available anywhere?

Thanks and it's good to be here.

-Tim

Hey Tim, Great to have you!

You have just entered the "Twilight Zone". Get ready for some fun and laughs. popcorn

I personally do not know of any aftermarket petcocks. You should be able to score a used one on Ebay.

The thing to look out for is the thread differences between the years.

Welcome to DOHC Customs.
Aftermarket petcocks are a joke.
Just spend the money and buy a Honda petcock and you will be better off.
Any inline filter will do you justice but a paper filter is best and that is an item best bought at a local motorcycle shop.

Any chance that you can send me your contact info? I am probably going to be in need of some mechanical assistance with the beauty of mine. Mainly carb sync.

Thanks,
Tim

Faster, are you saying that I can run without a filter in the tank and substitute with an inline filter somewhere before the carbs?

Posted: Thu Jul 24, 2008 7:04 pm

that tank filter is just a screen, some of the petcocks have a screen in the too,and a catch basin..an inline filter is the best

Posted: Thu Jul 24, 2008 9:38 pm

I run TWO of them .

Right Gene , I've posted that pic a few times before .
