1980 gs1000e

[ste gs1000]

Hi, I have a gs1000e with leverless vacuum petcock with 50mm bolt spacings, the problem - I have aftermarket clocks fitted so I do not have a fuel gauge now, what I am looking for is a vacuum petcock with 50mm bolt spacings WITH a RESERVE lever , I have heard that a gs750 petcock may be an option, but thought maybe someone has done this before and can tell me if iit's an option or not !!!
thanks for reading , any help / advice would be most appreciated,
Many thanks
Steve

I have that petcock on my 1980 1000E, but I had to switch tanks to do it.

Didn't they put reserve back on in the 81 and later versions?

There was no 1981 GS1000E, the 1100E had replaced it by then. In 1980 only there was both an 1100E and a 1000E, which didn't sell very well. I have the 1981 1100E tank on my 1980 !000E, which has proper hole spacing for the normal style petcock with reserve. It's the same tank as a 1981 750E.

I have never seen a petcock with reserve that fits the 50mm hole spacing, neither vacuum operated or a regular mechanical petcock..
