I'm just curious. Are you looking for part# 44300-44011? Partshark.com sells that for $246.06. Alpha-sports.com sells that for $346.37. That's the 1979 GS1000S petcock.
If you're looking for part# 44300-47270, it's a little more reasonable. Partshark.com sells it for $74.30. That's the 1980 GS1000S part.
Thank you for your indulgence,

And take pics and let us know how well it works, PLEASE!Buy it!
I bought one of those same petcocks when Z1 sold them and the casting marks are identical to the OE part.
That leverless 1980 petcock has a tiny rubber check valve imbedded down in the guts of the body that commonly fails. If ever there was a petcock worthy of "throw away and buy new", this is the one.
This is the first petcock I have seen that doesn't have the on/off valve. How would I test it on a non running bike?
Put it on your tank. Put gas in the tank. Put a section of hose on both the outlet and the vacuum line. Put the output line tube in a gas can. Suck a vacuum on the vacuum line tube and gas should flow out of the petcock.
The primer feature on that particular petcock is unique: you need to turn the little lever to Prime and then suck a pulse of vacuum on the vacuum line. Gas will flow until you turn the lever from Prime to ON.
