I made the adapter out of metric allen head bolt, which I slotted with the dremel. I drilled holes in the RD 400 petcock lever and the bolt to secure the factory RZ knob. A tractor pin with cotter pin holds the whole works on the RD 400 cut down lever.

Done and installed...had a slight leak at the sediment bowl. Looked through my John Deere O-rings and found a substitute until I can get one on order as I am unsure if the JD part mixes well with ethanol.

Near perfect fit and works like a champ. Just waiting on the new grab rail grommets and a couple other odds and ends and the RZ will be ready...

8 weeks to go....looks like you'll make it with enough time to run some shake-down laps.
