Viton tip needle valve upgrade

I hail the Viton tip needle valve as a sensible upgrade. Note: no alcohol in my local gasoline supply.
Viton has long stood the test of time on a great number of bikes over the years. It's a pleasant improvement over regular valves. I can leave the gas on without fear of flooding.
741 has the same needle valve with my Panhead so I can share the spares between the bikes.

Update: the particular Viton tip needle I picked up turned out didn't fit the existing outer. I suppose I should have bought inner and outer as a pair. So I learnt, some of the repop valve parts don't interchange.
