5.5" Headlight and Yamaha RD petcock

[lovehertz]

hi guys! looking for a 5.5" diameter headlight and a petcock for a Yamaha RD300 ('76) tank that's got a lower profile.. i'll post pics of the original tonight..

can pay but just in case i got a bunch of handlebar grips (even baby blue race grips), the 6.5" headlight that i won't need anymore and probably a bunch of other parts that i can swap with (i guess i should post this in the swapping section too).

see pic of the project!

Here's the pic of the Yammy petcock. need one that's got a shorter profile, both in and out of the tank if possible..

Unfortunately all I have is early R5 or RD stuff. All much bulkier than that. Your best bet (if not in a huge hurry) is to find a universal petcock that works for you, and have the appropriate bung welded into the tank. Any fab shop or competent welder could knock it out for you in under an hour.

Thanks VonYinzer, i'll probably do that. I hear Tim's an excellent Welder now

Ha... He'll tell ya that I'm sure.

Are you trying to mount the 400 tank on a 250/350 fame? Is that why you're looking for a smaller petcock?
