Is  fuel chicken from a '05 gsf fit the '94 gse model?

It will fit.. sort of.. I found out recently that the '04+ have different sized hoses from the '01-'02 that I have, and I believe those are different from the '89-'00

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

I was messing with it today and noticed that the bracket where the fuel chicken is bolted to is too far back on the frame. Do to this, the fuel chicken hits the airbox and won't fit without some modification.

The 04-07 bikes have a Petcock that requires 10mm hose.

Someone said if you heat one end of the 8mm hose you can make it fit.
I have the hoses from the '04, so that is not a problem :thumb:

Hmm... good to know.. It fits on my '02 without a problem (I think.. I only mocked it up, didn't actually bolt it on)

I will have to make a spacer out of rubber, wood or alluminum, if I want to bolt it in place.
