[QUOTE="Charlie Hoss, post: 944903, member: 875"] I put in a request for a fuel pump or flange under "Wanted" but think I may get better exposure over here. I was doing the valve check/CCT replacement, started bike to check for leaks from coolant pipe. O-ring on one side didn't seal, had a hard time getting one fuel fitting and one electrical connector loose from tank to remove again, so I just slid it back on the frame for more working room. It seemed to be solid :unsure: . Can you see where this is going? After a few minutes, the tank (with a half tank of gas) took a swan dive off the bike, landed upside down on the concrete floor :cray: . It has a couple of small to moderate dents and the expected road rash, but it also broke the nylon fitting the gas line was attached to and ripped the wires out of one of the electrical connectors. I was able to get the contacts out of the connector, resolder the wires and put it all back together. Now I need the pump flange which is replaceable but not available as a separate part. The nylon fitting is moulded into the flange. There are a few very pricey pumps on Ebay but I thought I'd try here first. I think the tank can be fixed at a body shop, otherwise it's over $700 for a new one. BTW, I just finished reading "The Fuel Pump Wars" by RadioHowie on this forum. Awesome! [/QUOTE]
