So I'm doing a Petcock diaphragm replacement to see if that fixes some fuel
issues I've been having. I've got the K&L replacement kit. Clymer says while
I'm at it, I might want to "Replace the fuel strainer and O-ring if worn or
damaged." Figured I'd just do it because it's my new bike, she's got almost 70K
miles, and why not...
Until I went to bikebandit.com and looked at the prices, that is...
$3.29 for one (1) O-Ring
$19.69 for the fuel strainer cup
$13.24 for the fuel filter (I think)
$200 for a new petcock...
$730 (!!!) for a new tank...
These prices seem absurdly high. I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions for
places where I could find parts cheaper (other than stripping another Nighthawk
for parts ;)
Are there generic o-ring manufacturers? Do people improvise? Or does everyone
on this list pay these prices and that's just how it goes?
Thanks,
+Lie
