    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Got a new oem style petcock for my 1000G, only to find the fuel inlet, and vacuhm inlet are pointed to the back instead of front, as the oem was. Not crazy about the fuel line making a 180 degree bend to get back to carbs. Talked to George, at George Fix where I purchased, and he said all the one's he had were that way. Question being ,has anyone here purchased a valve lately that spigots were facing forward as they are factory style. If I could find correct one I would return this one, and save the hassel of trying to rerout lines. It could be done, but is so much cleaner looking the other way. Thanks.
 
Could you take the back plate off and spin it around 180 degrees?

The vaccum side you could take out four screws and spin it 180 degree's and be fine but the fuel inlet is a differnt story, as it is a press fit. The valve is designed so the outlet can be on either side, they just stuck it in the wrong side. I just got off the phone with Bike Bandit, and sounds like they have what I need, but seeing is believing, as this is the third time I've tried to get this part!! Thanks much for the imput...
