I like the idea of having it behind the head as it will makE it hidden.  Making me look all that more manly when my budys try to start it without one. 

Start it with your arm and be a real hero. :evil:

Could someone post more pictures of this. I would love to install one on my Isetta, since the electric starter is very  weak and the compression is at 7-1. This release would allow me to boost the compression way up.
 Thanks in advance. John

Do you manually switch it from start mode to run mode, or is it automatic ?
 Who sells these ?

Looks like we're good to go. I just ordered 12 valves, they should be here in about 4 days. Cost to modify your head will be $125 + shipping (about $7), complete with valve, ready to bolt on the bike.
 
Anyone interested?

Muleman is going to be the test case for the big tank version. Look at his pictures above, is it the same setup you have?
