GS850L pet cock compatabiltiy

[Cyrano]

I plan to replace the fuel tap/petcock on my GS850L in the next few weeks. The current one works in a fashion and doesn't leak but the one way valve is missing from the insides which means it needs to go.

As you may know this has the 50mm spacing for the bolt holes and is the one without the switch. I've spotted a similar unit for the GSX1100F (much cheaper) which has the same bolt spacing, still doesn't have a switch but does have twin outlets.

Apart from the need to blank off one the feeds would there be any problems?

Is it cheaper than this USA seller? The 80's petcocks were odd but once understood, they seem to work correctly.

thanks for the reply Tom,

I understand them fine now (took a while to get my head round it) using BassCliffs site and had it apart a few times.

That looks an okay price you've linked to but shipping would knock it out. I found an 850 one is about £50 and the GSX1100F comes in about £30.
