Small project, I know
Bought this 2+ months ago to have for charging my phone and maybe a small tire inflator. Finally got around too installing it. Not much room between the handlebars and that's where the phone will eventually be mounted.
I turned the petcock to "Prime" and no gas came out of the nipple when reinstalling.
Well, heres what it looks like. Didn't want to angle it back Amy further as it would just collect rain water. I will see how it goes. Always wanted to have a patch kit and small tire inflator if I ever get saddlebags of some sort.

They are reasonably affordable and like you say, riding w/o any tools of any sort is not too bright.
Forgot to mention i bought some of that rubber curly cue wire covering. That is what you see in the pic, not elect tape
You can also see where i rattle-canned the top of my triple tree & handlebar clamps, this past summer. Makes them look almost new

I had to buy a new patch kit. Somehow the glue got punctured. Glad I found out before I needed it in the middle of bum FK. It's now where no sharp objects are.
