    Seeking Advice on New Petcock

    I have a 1979 GS850G. The PO installed an aftermarket petcock that's recently gone the way of the Dodo. I'd like to know if there are aftermarket petcocks that members would recommend or if it's recommended to go with OEM or NOS, if available?

    Is your petcock still 44 mm centerline spacing on bolt holes? My parts cross referencer says the 79, 80'and 81 gs850 used same petcock. I got a replacement from this guy 8 years ago - still working good. Note direction of outlets - this can be an issue.
