Default Fuel supply valve so hard to turn on/off I need a pliers
These old fingers can barely turn the lever on my fuel supply valve 1984 FXRS
Low Glide and I want to replace it. Any suggestions on a vender and/or valve you like?

Pingel.

They are the best kind of pricy but worth every penny.

Pingel. Pricey, but made me wonder why I didn't do it sooner. Flawless quality and operation. Only issue is that the Pingel takes 5/16 fuel line, and the stock carb uses 1/4 line. Not a problem with my Mikuni, though.
