Am I the only one who has real problems getting the connections on the fuel tap? PITA job.
I do use a wooden stick/tank prop to hold the front up tho that makes it a bit easier...
You could always get quick release joints for the pipes...

The idea was to look at a jacket I had seen online...Spada Camo II... So I tried it on, nice jacket if a bit crispy as new, but the collar was like a bloody neck brace... Just not comfy at all so bailed out on that + do I relly need another jacket ? J+1 = 6 so gave that a miss...Instead I looked at some lids...
Stated off with a HJC but that was polycarb so swervd that, had a look at another HJC Rapha 11 (?) OK but didn't feel quite right...Tried on a Shoei GT air...
The card took the strain...
Feckin £65 for a new visor !!!

Unless you've replaced the standard fuel lines with braided, that is.
Don't clamp braided lines, take them to a hydraulic hose maker like protek.
I found these hose clips:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/273716037029 ... 3716037029 as Wicky says they were too small (see link below).viewtopic.php?f=18&t=18681&hilit=fuel+c ... 40#p325950Wicky wrote: While things were apart tried to fit 8mm quick release fuel connectors - no way with the slop in the 10mm ID hose would they have sealed securely
Chris I've got some in the MacCave...somewhere...never got round to fitting them but intend to do so...sirch345 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 3:20 pm
However I am more concerned about 8mm fuel connectors being the right size for standard OEM petrol pipe
