How 'bout a link to your mod - a search for "fuel tap mod" did not bring the hoped for result ...
Thanks!
Resultless greetings from Munich!
Here is the info on Kennys fuel tap mod
Hi Its actually very simple I removed the spring from the vaccum diaphram and replaced it with washers to make sure the o-ring seal sealed the back part of the tap then reassembled the vaccum side. I then removed the tap side retainer ring with the ON-PRIME-RES and simply rotated it 90 degrees clockwise so now ON is forward OFF is down and RES is backwards JOB done it really is that simple.
Here are some photos of a fuel tap mod that I have done today
1st remove vacum spring
2nd replce the spring with washers or a 5mm spacer
3rd file off the lug
this is the position for fuel on
reserve
and finally the off position

Nice job on the pics there dixonj
Although I didnt file the tab off and rotated my face plate 90 degrees so I still had a stop so I cant over rotate the tap lever.
My bike maybe a dinosaur but it still has some bite & has a mighty roar.

about the spacer dimentions, can i ask is the total length of the spacer. is it 5mm or do you have to make sure that it sticks up 5mm from the lip so it would be over 5mm in length?
sorry but i could not determin the correct dimentions from your photo.
many thanks RCT
