Hello All, Quick question and background. Son rides a valkyrie. We just went thru all 6 carbs and reinstalled... REAL pita to reinstall airbox runners onto top of carbs. We reinstalled and cranked up and have a low idle issues that we believe to be an air leak, further investigation tomorrow. Now for the question, one of his forum buddies we visited had a fuel "bag/cell" hanging from the ceiling with a hose and pinch clamp to run bike without the tank on... Great idea huh. Have any of you made one and if so, out of what with what??? Wanting to make one tomorrow that I will use also on RSV when finished. (torn apart now) Give me ideas... hose, check, clamp, check, bottle.... woops. I need a fuel resistant IV bag! Ideas anyone?:think: thanks for the help, James:biker:

Anybody ever try putting a grease-zerk on the speedometers of our 83-85 ventures? I was able to put a small one on the other day. I used a 1/4" bit in the drill-press and went very slowly as to not drill into the shaft. I used a dremel to finish it off. If your careful, you won't mar the shaft. I tapped it and was able to screw the zerk in fine. When I pumped grease into the speedo it came out both ends of the shaft. I worked quite well. But after the speedo/tach assembly was all back together and reinstalled in the bike, the zerk is at a wierd angle that migh make id tough to get the greese gun onto it. Considering how often I might need to grease it, I don't think it will be to much of a problem.
