            I like the upsidedown clubmans. I knew they'd work like that.

                He's referring to the handle bars on your bike. Commonly known as clubmans (or ace bars in Aust) they are usually put on up the other way so they drop down nice and low like 'clip-ons'.
                They were a common way to create a 'cafe' bike from a stock road bike in the olden days.

                      Here's a popular site with fuel valves that "pass more gas".

                      We Pass more Gas! Pingel Enterprise has long been known for our fuel valves, also known as petcocks. This product is one of the first motorycle parts from Pingel manufacturing. Our valves set the standard for quality and high flow with substantially higher fuel flow than any other fuel valve made for motorcycles.

                          that bike looks great.My bike is going to be so much like yours,now i might have to change mine.Except,i would never have those kind of handlebars,i am too old and stiff to lean over that far.Those pipes must really be loud.I dont like the stock upswetp originals,yours with some baffles are more what i want.I am glad to see what i had visioned come to life.Keep up the good work.

                            hahaha thanks ! i love the way it turned out, not bad for like 2 days of work hehe, just ran out this afternoon and welded some mounds so the seat attaches to the bike, also, anyone know of a high flow, inline on off valve ? i made a petcock that is high flow, super high flow, and works great with just the fuel line, but i need an inline on off switch, i have an in line on off switch on there now but its for a smaller fuel size so its not that great hehe
