dont think aluminium would be that great. now if some one had access to plastic injection molding thats the ticket. then you could mold them in any color even clear!!.

Re: 48mm Spree BBK(taz)
OK maybe petcock covers are more like four leaf clovers. They do exsist just very rare.
I don't know why it took til 1987 for honda-san to just mold it in with the rest of the side covers.

It took until then for Honda-san to figure out the petcock was reliable enough to not require an access panel. And of course they did a panel change that year too.Trafficjamz wrote:OK maybe petcock covers are more like four leaf clovers. They do exsist just very rare.

Re: 48mm Spree BBK(taz)
See that price? That's why I check for mine at most stoplights. That way, if the thing fell off, hopefully I have time to double back and look for it before a car runs it over.martynkim wrote:Petcock cover for those who have money to burn

i figured i'd do that eventually, even at $10 a pop, you'd still make bank considering how many people need them.PimpinSpree wrote:man, i need to get one and make a mold of it and start selling aftermarket ones. Too bad they are $60. im not buyin one for that

If you make them as crappy as Honda made them, you'll certainly get repeat customers too. Whoever designed the retention clip for the petcock cover should probably be demoted.fightingplankton wrote:i figured i'd do that eventually, even at $10 a pop, you'd still make bank considering how many people need them.

there is a thread on here somewhere about a "anti-slip petcock nut" or something.CharlotteSpreeRider wrote:If you make them as crappy as Honda made them, you'll certainly get repeat customers too.
