Pingel Petcock w/ VM33

I have a GS1000c with a leaking petcock inside the valve. I cannot shut off the gas completely
I plan on changing my carbs over to VM33s this spring and put on a Pingel petcock.
I've used this before on a GSXR and I was quite pleased.
I was wondering if there are any known clearance issues with this set-up?
I have new rubbers under the tank (front and rear).

Thank you,
All the best for the new year!

I have the same setup on my katana. VM33's with a pingel petcock. The Pingel petcock is one of the best things I have bought for my bike. It flows ALOT more gas than the stock petcock. Its a piece of cake to install.
 
I switched my stock one for a pingle 'I have CV's though' have forgotten to switch off the fuel once ... that was enough; other than getting used to checking you will be fine.

Also Most motorcycle classes least the one I learned was quick to drill in the circle check approach...Fuel, Choke, Key On, Kill Switch, Start! ....reverse accordingly for stopping. I ofcourse did not have a manual petcock for a few seasons and had to re-teach myself that one...probably got it messed up but you get the idea.

Other than that additional check I love it!
 
On my GSXR, i used to to run out of gas because the lack of reserve on the high flow Pingel petcock.Its hard learning, to push the bike in the middle of the night in a rural area.

They wont fit the small port intake boots. I can't see them being useful because the intake port is only 28mm or so. Go with vm29's for the small port head.
