On the race hawk I just got the PO had put on a universal fuel pump.
I'll post a pic later but it seems like you could just go get a small one at an Auto parts store.BIKES: Honda: RC31 Racebike/ NT650 Streetbike, DUCATI: None at the moment.

I have an sv pump as well. I would say size and cost as well. Works great.whatsoever your hand should find to do, do it gladly, because there is no work, love, knowledge, or wisdom in the grave...Comment

The SV pump (earlier vintage) is a vacuum pump, which also was appealing. Fuel in, fuel out and a vacuum hose to power it. Thats it...whatsoever your hand should find to do, do it gladly, because there is no work, love, knowledge, or wisdom in the grave...Comment

I just use a Pingle petcock and gravity feed.Harley universal petcocks are the same - but about 1/3 the cost.Comment

I'm using an SV pump as well. I did it at the same time I did my F2 tank swap. It cleaned up the bike IMO.Tim

No pic's but I've seen them mounted under the frame spar that runs across the front of the frame, directly behind and below the front tank mount bolt.Mike/Kilter

Ok now I am interested? Is this the electric pump we are talking about?
How small is it?
I am trying to loose weight where I can on the Hawk (while picking up some spares). This sounds like a neat option. Pics anyone?BIKES: Honda: RC31 Racebike/ NT650 Streetbike, DUCATI: None at the moment.

Mikuni dual-outlet vacuum-operated diaphragm pump:
Works good, is cheap. About $30 I think. A single outlet is also available but I like these, nice clean install on the Hiperform subframes as shown and will work with either stock or FCR carbs.J.D. Hord

Alright Hord how do I find one and for stock carbs single or double outlet? In from the filter and out to the carb...one right?
Because it's vacuum operated where does it have to be in location to the fuel tank and or carbs.The final measure of any rider's skill is the inverse ratio of his preferred traveling speed to the number of bad scars on his body.

I guess I'll have to work on getting some "kits" put together and post them in my online store. The pump can be mounted anywhere, doesn't really matter. It's kind've a pain tho on stock subframes/streetbikes because of all the extra stuff in the way and trying to figure out hose routing.J.D. Hord
