    Replacements for leverless 80 GS750E 50mm petcock?

    I have an '82 750E which appears to be using an '80 tank, as evidenced by my ever-so-functional and not-at-all-confusing leverless petcock.

    I'm cleaning things up at the moment and figured that it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace this, as it may now be around 40 years old.

    Unfortunately, I'm not finding much in the way of replacements aside from the OEM replica sold by Z1.

    Has anyone else replaced their '80 petcock with something similar to the levered '82 model? I'm trying to keep the bike as stock-looking as possible, so I'm not planning on purchasing a Pingle or anything.

    (or anybody have an '82 maroon tank they want to trade for a silver '80 tank? )

    I do believe you have already mentioned all your options.
