Not my bike... but the best (Pipe side) pictures I have found....
http://www.kxriders.com/forums/index.php/topic,4930.0.html

as stewart has my motor and pipe.. I have no idea where I can stuff one and have access.. its all speculation

Now since I will have a Batt on the bike due to the Dual sport kit. I was thinking maby one of these would work... just hook to the horn button or somthing on the controlls

 This past weekend I built some tooling and fixtures for the compression release modification. Then, tried out the process on my '89 head.

Beautiful work Larry.  For us guys that run a large tank IMS, Clark, it looks like we're going to need the unit on the right side of the head. Any problem with that?  I was thinking their might be room on the left side if you were able to machine the unit to attach vertically sort of like a street L.  One last question what valve were you going to use?  The chain saw version or the other "Harley" version? 

Thanks

I made a bung and going to use the 2mm drill bit as a pin so it doesn't move when It is welded.

No.

I played around with that concept, but it got complicated fast. I think the other side is a better option.

The saw valve is smaller, cheaper and was manufactured with a LOT more quality control than any aftermarket HOG part.

I'm trying to make one with a cable and hotstarter lever!!!

Where do you have space with a zip ty tank???? My AF has a lot of space on the sides.
Would like to make it less visable, maybe I'll try it to make it on top or at the back of the head.

I think the back of the head would be more universally usable for all setups.
