The petcock on my bike is all froze up, I was looking to buy a new OEM one but they are $250+. Are they any good to rebuild or would I be better off to get an aftermarket one? If I would go the aftermarket one and it doesn't have the vacumn port what do you do with the vacumn like that is connected to this one?

NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it. -
I thought you had possibly gone to an incorrect page in a parts fiche, so I checked Alphasports $347!!!
Apparently, they are discontinued
I bought a new one 2 years ago for $65
I would recommend carefully removing the 2 small screws that hold the face plate on, then wrestling the lever free
Clean the lever body and the petcock body
Replace the O ring and the rubber disc (parts #2 and #3 on the fiche)
Reassemble and see if that doesn't cure your problem1978 GS 1000 (since new)

The petcock from a kawasaki sherpa KLR250 is a direct bolt-on. I have one on my '78 1000. Here is a thread:
