I swear it never fails, I got my tank painted with the base layer for my design and now gotta wait 7 days for the paint to cure before adding the contrast color...not a big problem. I have my bike to a point where I can ride it, all I have to do is finish the tank. Im going out of town next week so when the paints fully cured I wont be here to finish it and the anticipations killing me, so I wanted to take it for a ride tonight. I was super stoked, took my tank out of my trunk...and scratched the top of it!? Still not a big deal, upsetting but I can deal with it.
Mount my tank, step back take a few pictures, make sure everythings good and it looks great! Grab my petcock to install it so I can take it for a little ride around the neighborhood....and the $^*&*$#$& PETCOCK DOESNT FIT THIS TANK!!!!?????????????????

I got a spare tank with the bike because the one on it had a huge dent on one side. I tossed that tank after a failed attempt at trying to pry the dent out resulted in bending and splitting the flange that hold the lid. Anyways, the petcock was off the original tank and I didnt even pay any attention to whether it would fit the spare tank, apparently it does not!? The petcock nut is too big. These tanks look identical and I know for a fact its from a super sport because the decals were still on it.....any ideas?? And does anybody have the smaller petcock?
