    Correct me if I am wrong,, but as I remember things, they went with a leverless because the handle would hit on CV tops and the VMs had clearance for the levers.

    Does this ring a bell???

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      I'm working a bunch this week so I won't have time to work on it so I was at least trying to get it ordered. I talked to the guy at boulevard and he said I can return it if it's not the right one. Is the concern the lever itself hitting the tank?

          So if I bolt the tank down and measure from the middle of the petcock that's on now I can see the distance I need, and compare that to the length of the lever if someone on here knows the measurements? So I would measure from the middle to the top of carb 1?

            That is what I recall also. However, the shape of his flat slide GSXR CV carbs is significantly different.
            Yes, some measurements and some pictures would probably tell the whole story.

              I am concerned that the o-rings have two different part numbers. What if the bolt pattern/spacing is different?

                Here's the tank bolted down all the way. Even those these aren't OEM carbs I'll probably have them for awhile because of money. SO based on this picture which petcock you think would work?

                  Anyone have any ideas which petcock I should buy with these carbs. It looks to me the one with the lever would work.

                    Looks like the levered one will have lots of clearance to me..

                      Purchase the one that fits the tank correctly, then if you have room and you will still have the room if and when you get the other carbs, get the one with the lever...much easier to move from on to prime to off and so on....
