    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I know this is not what you asked but a place in the u.k. called wemoto.com has what looks like fatory fit petcock they call fuel tap for 39 bucks.I see a lot of threads about petcocks so I thought I would throw it out there.A friend told me about them, dont know how good they are or if the shipping and time would be worth it.
 
No doubt, it will fit something. By the imfo. I see, it looks like it will fit your 850 Suzuki. Probably will not fit your 550 Honda nor the 550 Suzuki
 
I've seen inside most of the different styles of GS petcocks, but that kit doesn't look familar.
 
That kit is for the "large lever" style petcocks, like the one on my GS1000G. This other website shows essentially the same thing:

By the way, I've ordered things from partsnmore several times, with good luck every time. Only $5 shipping once you're over the $35 minimum order. They also have great prices on AGM batteries, although only one style for GSes (the most common one, but not universal for all):

The petcock that kit fits looks like this:

You seem to be missing something here, that is not 39 bucks, it is 39 pounds, that converts to $57USD plus shipping from UK which is generally quite expensive.

well I just ordered the OEM o-rings and gaskets on Bikebandit cause I needed some other stuff off there and the totall of the o-rings and gaskets minus the vacume gasket was $4.44 so I figure that was totally worth it.:D

Thanks for the help guys.
