Fuel petcock

I just put fuel in my dry tank, and it all poured out the petcock. The leak is coming out of the vale itself. Unfortunately Honda decided that this would never happen, and riveted the valve together. So anybody have a good spare, or know where one can be found?

Well I've found the rebuild kits for 90 and newer, but I have an 87. I think I'll have to buy the whole assembly.

RE: Fuel petcock

You should be able to drill off the heads of the rivits and replace them with 1/8 screws. I did that on my nighthawk.

Try this site and look for a brand called TourMax...
