    In my opinion (for whatever that's worth 8-[), a good, stock petcock is better than a Pingle.

    I have been spoiled by years of riding bikes with automatic petcocks and would not relish the thought of going back to a manual unit. 8-[

      Would really like to stay with stock style valve, but didn't know if they were still available. Any suggestions on where to run one down???
