joe87fxr - Got any specs on the brass cutoff you selected? Thinking of the same thing.

manual valve is BAD MOJO
an electrical valve with ign lockout would be better.
for grins an giggles, suppose someone steals your machine, sure he will not get far but you now have a brick of a motor cycle.
the check ball IS NOT the only place that oil can go to the engine, do not forget the pump drive.
