[QUOTE="Vinnie Boy, post: 148490, member: 4699"] Having put up with sumping and resisting fitting a valve or tap for too long, I confess I have succumbed and fitted a tap. I like to try and maintain a standard appearance so I made an adaptor and fitted the tap as close to the tank as possible. No room for the operating lever here so I made a key to operate it by. My front brake handle bar lever has a redundant hole in the blade for a brake lock . In the garage, the 'key' when finished will occupy this hole, that together with a bright red cord preventing the bar end mirror from folding out is my safety set up. I realise it's not 100% fool proof but I am ok with it . On the plus side , not having to drain the oil before a ride is something of a novelty and a real pleasure. Another bonus is that the tap is very discrete and without its lever virtually tamper proof. VB [/QUOTE]
