    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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 have a 1980 gs550e that I am rebuilding and during this process, I have ummm, misplaced (read lost) my petcock. :cry: I am having a difficult time finding the right one to replace it with. Which one do I need?
 
It ain't cheap

#1 Fuel Cock Assembly= 44300-49172
#2 O-ring= 44348-49170
#3 Bolt= 09128-06006 (2 req)
#4 Gasket= 09168-06010 (2 req)

Wow, #1 is about $84 from www.alpha-sports.com. You might be able to find it cheaper or use an aftermarket petcock (Pingle?).

Thank you for your indulgence,

84 bucks seems kinda steep!!! I just found Bike bandit and they are 80 also?!

Why are they so high for this year? Would any other sizes fit?
 
Oh, I don't know. You'll only need the one for the next 25 years or so. Why not get the real thing and be done with it? Any other solution could give you grief.

Probably find an aftermarket for 50 (Z1), but some validity to BC's point as well.
