Sure was, Yamaha xs650 tank, sits lower on the frame so it's a lot more flush, 3 gallon capacity.

Next three days will be taking a road trip with 18 Harley guys. Couple hundred miles to a lodge. Fishing, poker & beer.
They like the DF! I hope my upper speed won't be an issue. Other than winds, perfect weather. Glad I have the pony bags & a break down fishing gear. Let you know Monday how the DF does.

Sounds like a good time. Enjoy!

Newbie to biking question.

I have a new tank lined up for the df , it has 2 built in petcocks that are vacuum operated. Can i plumb them in to the df and get the to operate, or should i just set them on prime and run them into the df petcock?

Cheers

If you removed the air induction system (that lets air into the exhaust valve area) you will have a vacuum take off point available on the carb, to connect your vacuum petcock to.

My Yamaha 250 has a triple tap on the carb, for fuel pump,vacuum petcock and (disconnected) air induction. So.. you should have enough vacuum to operate dual petcocks.
