The petcock on my 2000 T is leaking . Its leaking between the rivited on plate behind the lever and the aluminum housing. Anybody ever try to fix this or
happen to have a good one to sell? Thanks

For my old Kawasaki, A repair kit would have everything needed to replace all the softgoods. Don't think I've seen a repair kit for a Shadow, but I
haven't looked for one either.

Mine started leaking several years ago on a trip to Devil's Tower, Wyoming. I used a small pair of vice grip pliers and gently squeezed each of the two
pop rivets that hold it together. I kept adjusting and tightening a little at a time until it stopped leaking taking care to do one rivet then the other. It
hasn't leaked since. Hope it works as the petcock is pretty pricey - about $70 then.
