manual petcock for klr?

[Bob K]

I have a mint Corbin Seat for the KLR 650. Fits all years. It's a Dual Platform Low seat. This was a special order seat. It also has the Red welting around it to match the KLR red and has "Corbin" stiched in one side of the lower sides. Has the grippy sides in the back also. These sell for $379 new without the extras, and this one is perfect. Will let it go for $275 shipping included or best offer. I no longer have my KLR since I bought a 650 V-Strom. I also have New side racks and 2 Pelican 1450's I never got mounted. Also have a New Happy Trails dash and Cee Bailey Touring shield. I'll list those seperatley. Thanks..Bob contact me at cbrxx98@...

All these parts are for a 08 and later KLR so I don't think the shield and racks will fit previous years. The seat WILL fit all years. All prices include shipping to the CONUS Shield $140 (Used but nice) Racks $85 (New) Dash $25 (New) Pelicans $100 for pair (1 new and 1 lightly used) From: cbrxx98@...

John, The petcock has been high on my list of suspicious problems--though having put a kit in it the previous summer, it was not #1. Thinking I will bump it up to #1. I don't own a mity vac, have wanted to buy one; guess now is the time to add one is on the shopping list for this weekend since I will be in the big city. thanks. revmaaatin.
