Not a direct replacement for Jerry Rig Requires

A search revealed that the crane would work on my Kawasaki Vulcan VN800 motorcycle. The reason I bought this was because the OEM part was over $100. I just wanted a relatively inexpensive troubleshooter and maybe keep it on the bike. The problem is that the lever that moves the crane through its range of motion was blocked by the fuel tank. In other words, it didn't fit. I had to file about 1/8 inch the thickness of the faucet arm in order for it to fit and work as intended. Two stars because it worked after I changed it. I was told it would be suitable for my application. The fuel outlet (nipple) size is different and it doesn't work with the OEM fuel line so I had to replace that fuel line as well. Also, the size of the vacuum nipple was different and the actuator vacuum line also had to be replaced, requiring a trip to the auto parts store for the fuel and vacuum lines.

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.
