I spent almost an hour just trying to put the little hose back on the drain nipple. I put it on before I bolted down the fuel bowl, but couldn't move it back enough to start the bolts. So, I took it off and bolted down the bowl. I finally had to bend the pipe which broke it loose from it's clamps, replaced the hose to finally get it on. Then used zip ties to secure it. Not to mention, I had to drive to north Austin, 60 miles just for the o-ring kits; $70 for 5 o-rings and 4 sleeves. Did I mention that I hit a deer on I-35 with my G/wing and tore it up pretty badly? I managed to keep it up, but it's got major damage. Jeez! What a job/week.

Almost forgot; I broke a sensor. It's the one directly in front of the left bowl bolt. Can someone tell me what that is so I can get it ordered.

Thanks to all for all the help I received here and the instructions I d/loaded from guzzle's site were invaluable.

Glad to hear you kept the bike up! I was feeling like a lame-a$$ since I just forked over $700 on Monday: my fuel bowel drain valve was leaking, and after fixing that they found a leak in the return line on the right head. Suddenly I feel pretty good about it the whole deal.
It is a drag though, for that kind of scratch I could have deleted the bowel and put in the regulated return I bet.
