Whats the point of a velocity stack with the flare cut off? wouldnt that kill the point?

They are now just pod adapters and nothing more.   [popcorn]

I'm not sure if the tank is valved or not, they don't leak when the lines are unhooked, but I think that's because of the fuel pump on the delivery side and the pressure regulator on the return side.
I think if either of those fittings broke it would be ugly.

Yup - ugly all over the rear header.  You can see the fuel must be leaking some in that picture of my tank fittings.  The 'out' = high pressure side I guess.  It looks like a little fuel has been getting past the seal and staining the inside of the fitting.

Phase 1 complete.  The bike ran very rich with the stepper motor removed.  I hooked up the Technoresearch kit and trimmed back the idle mixture quite a bit.  It idled at just about the same RPM once it was warmed up.  I found this perfect fuel pump on ebay - I got a deal on it because it is broken - but it is broken in just the right way to save me some work lol.  I'll see if there is enough metal to tap for metal quick disconnects and/or try and find a welder to see if it can be welded without destroying the rest of the flange.

Had the fuel pump replaced under warranty for the same reason
