PETCOCK REPLACEMENT FOR 305 DREAMS

Post by ROBM50 » Sat Aug 23, 2008 3:19 am

Hey all you 305 Dream bike owners, A guy out of Arkansas sells custom built replacement petcocks for our Dream bikes. I installed mine today and it works fantastic. They have a nice polished look and are a much better design than the original slide bar kind like yours that are notorious for leaking. His name is Ed and his email address is eddiecarolan@yahoo.com if you're interested. He's a super nice guy. If you contact him, tell him Robert from Garland referred you!

Hey Ryan, I will get a photo of that real soon and I paid $57.00 for the valve. It's barely noticeable and looks as if it was made for the bike originally. Best of all, it is such an easy install. The adapter fits on the bottom of the tank with just a small oring and gasket sealer. After that you just screw in the actual valve with teflon tape on the threads. Let the sealer cure for few hours and you're done. If I don't get my pic up in time, you can email Ed at the address that I provided earlier and I'm certain he would be happy to email you a pic of the petcock.
