[QUOTE="alanrider, post: 926367, member: 28315"] Hi Joe -- Umm, I'm afraid you're asking these questions of the wrong guy -- if I knew all those answers I woulda just built the thing myself ;-) Seriously, I'm more than a little mechanically-challenged, so your best bet is to ask Mike directly via the email address above. A few simple questions I can answer: -- Yes, you're mounting assumptions are essentially correct. There are also a couple of adjustable shims that eliminate side-to-side movement. -- Yes the momentary fuel pump switch was a fine idea for the reasons you state. The location is actually very convenient as I can simply open the valve and hold the button down if I want to speed up transfer (gravity feed alone takes approx. 30-40 minutes, which is not bad). Mike has improved this design even further by creating an adjustable timed switch which allows you to press the button once and the fuel pump will run for X minutes before shutting off. Based on my experience w/ this setup, I'm not sure what benefit mounting the switch on the handlebars would offer... -- As for making those slots, I believe he gnawed them w/ his teeth! ;-) (actually I have no idea) Other than that, all I know is that it works and I'm extremely happy with it!
