Title: Calling Speeddog: Fuel line re-route on S4R
Post by: DucHead on October 01, 2008, 05:03:09 PM
Speeddog - you posted these pics on TOB, and I'm seeing if they show up here.  Nope.  Could you please derby them?

Also, did you need anything other than hose, clamps and quick disconnects?

Thanks,
  Dave

You need some Adel clamps and need to fab a small bracket, preferably with a rivnut.

I don't have access to those pics anytime real soon, I'll snap some more here in a minute.

Fuel line lengths are *crucial*.
Clearances are very tight.
Watch that the regulator doesn't chafe on the wiring going to the relays directly above it.

Thanks Speeddog!!

I was gonna try to route the lines without moving the regulator, now I think I might just route things as per your pics.

Thanks again!!

Dave

Nick - thanks one million!!  The pics really made a difference!!   [beer]   [drink] 

I relocated the fuel lines and rerouted a (new) starter wire.  It took almost 2.5 hrs.  The right side is much cleaner looking!   [moto]

Ride it a bit and give the lines a careful inspection, make sure they're not rubbing on anything.

Don't want 'em to wear through.

Glad I could help.  :)

Thanks, will do.  I had it out this evening for a nice cool ride (in the low 60s here), and I'll check everything tomorrow.  BTW, I used the stainless quick disconnects from Omega this time.
