What bike?
The stock fuel line is 7mm. That makes it larger than 1/4" and smaller than 5/16".
Petcock threads? All the petcocks I have seen on GS bikes had a large hole through which the filter and reserve assembly went, and two 6 x 1.0 mm theaded holes for the bolts. And why would anyone think there would be a 3/8 INCH thread on a METRIC bike?

They sell them at www.z1enterprises.com for about $40. If one from an 83750ES will work for you I have one you can have for $20.
It works but you'll need new O rings for the bolts. The body O ring itself doesn't look too bad.
