Petcock swap 2-way by 1-way
« on: April 24, 2019, 01:33:47 PM »
My stock petcock (2-way output) is leaking via cone plastic and I was not able to fix it, despite throughout cleaning. I tried to find replacement cone element but did not find, seems does not exist :(

So, I decided to buy new OEM Honda with 1-way output (16950-341-671) due to reasonable price.
Plan was to use T metallic splitter to connect 2 hoses to 1 output. However, there is very little space available to bend hoses and seems I'll not be able to make w/o bending hose that it will decrease petrol flow...
Other solution could be to use additional elbow "connector" or ideally U shaped one or other shape connector/splitter...

Does anybody have such solution implemented? Any advice what kind of connector / splitter fits?
Or any other inspiration from other Honda bikes?
