    fuel line and petcock

    Hey everyone. So I have recently obtained a 1978 GS750. It came with almost everything but the fuel lines and the fuel petcock. My question is, does anyone know what size fuel lines/vacuum lines I need and if there is an aftermarket petcock that is cheaper than $97 off of bike bandit that will work for this style of carburetor????

    Thanks all!

    Stock ones can be found at many other Suzuki dealerships for roughly the same or a bit cheaper price but at better service. You can also try Z1 Enterprises.

    As far as the hoses, why don't you just order the stock sizes from the dealer? You'll get more than you need right now but that gives you excess for later. One of the better dealers we all like is Parts Outlaw - www.partsoutlaw.com

      I'm pretty sure the fuel T on the carbs uses 5/16" inner diameter hose. I got a petcock from Z1 for ~$40.
      Z1 Enterprises specializes in quality Motorcycle parts for Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha Classic Japanese motorcycles from the 1970's and 1980's.


      I'm planning to buy a few feet of hose from my local autozone. The price is quite reasonable.

      The petcock just needs to fit the tank. I'm guessing the 78 uses the same 44mm bolt spacing as the 77. Measure your tank to be sure.
