Reminder about fuel taps (Steve Willys and Simonofsweden, etc.)
If you are sourcing new/repro/NOS fuel taps remember that some types are designed to operate only "wet": if you turn them on/off before you install them and fuel up, you may ruin the internal seal before first use. Riders have ruined a new tap just on the trip back from the shop by working it on/off in the car on the way home!
