78 GS1000 left for dead

I'm using the stock petcock now with prime as on, and on/reserve as off......but I need a reserve available because I hate walking or pushing
The Pingle will work perfect, just not the cheapest route

Cool...thought maybe since it has holes......LOl

May have been Ed Ness, but i recall someone had made a tutorial on how to make a stock petcock an manual on / off too. Just dont know where that is at though.

I'll get a different petcock that works without vacuum, since the petcock I have now isn't really the right one anyway.
The Pingle I can get to direct the outlet straight towards the carbs...plus it will dump fuel at about twice the rate of the stock tap.
The tank was the only thing I'll be wanting to keep, as stated....I have a place to hang it in the garage for decoration....plus it could have some value in another 20 years

For the petcock vacuum you can put in a vacuum sync adapter in one of the sync ports. Solder the end shut and drill a small hole in it. the small hole will allow enough suction to work the petcock but not suck on the diapram excessively. Maybe something like a 10 or 15 thousands hole will do the trick. Petcock doesnt require much suction to work.

Tank sent to 73072. PM me please. Holes dont bother me and a few bucks for you wont hurt your wallet either.

For sale if there is any interest...

I'll post in for sale area in case there is.

PM sent about the pipes.

Are you selling any of those parts?

Unneeded parts.....

Some of the parts that didn't make the cut.....
No need for any of them, as bike will never go back to original...
And I don't plan on another GS project that I would use these stock parts on for myself.
Although I will hang the gas tank on the wall for decoration....It has around 80 holes in it....



I have about 100 miles on it as I have been shaking it down, since spring came early this month.
Bike now has the 29's off the black GS, and it pulls like a freight train.......I'll never go back to the 26's even with the stage 3...
Need a Pingle fuel tap to use with the 29's, since they have no vacuum take off for the stock tap to work.

A TR500 style frame wouldn't be too hard to make using a T500 frame.
Always wondered about using a 400 bandit frame for one myself, and use head/cylinder bolts to mount engine. (Bandit has no lower frame)

I would love to have a CB1100RD...the D model I thought looked the best.
Never sold here in the states, but prices are in the stratosphere now. I know the Japanese have been buying them, bringing up the values like the Eddie Lawson Replica KZ.
