Fuel rail dilemma
omega0684 - 12/3/09 at 06:14 PM

i have been installing my new adjustable fuel pressure regulator and have been pondering all day on where best to fit it, so i finally bit the bullet and made a bracket to mount it on and installed it all. then after I removed the old fuel pressure regulator on the R1 TB's i noticed that it had a small cylindrical insert that went into the fuel rail which had a small seal on it as well (first pic), the piece i have been sent doesn't have this, instead it just has a recessed hole in it,pic 2, they have the same internal diameter but the new bit doesn't have the small insert bit, where do i go from here? im after ideas on how i can seal the join at the end of the fuel rail, can i buy a straight joiner with a joiner at the back?

If you can nip over with the offending parts , I could maybe turn something up to do the job ? What you seem to need is a `thing` with the bike fuel rail fitting one end , and an 8mm hose tail on the other , along with a couple of tabs to bolt it on with ?
