    Well it works. I put the 3/8 by 3/8 fuel shut off valve on there from Home Depot. Had to get a couple of adapters so I could get the fuel line on there. Works great. Bike sounds and runs much better. I'm getting all the fuel I need now. I had to cut the little silver handles off of the end but I used my dremel and cut a slot in the end and now use a screwdriver to turn it on and off. Not a big deal as I keep one on my sissybar anyway. I that gets lost or stolen a penny works just fine. The best part? I can tuck it up under the tank and no one can see it. They think the original petcock turns the gas on and off. My bike will go about a city block once I shut the gas off IF its warmed up and no where if its cold. Total cost to include 6 feet of 5/16 fuel line and clamps. $14.00. If anybody wants the numbers for the parts let me know.

      Interesting about the natural gas shutoff.

        I ordered my Pingel online from these people

        They list an applications page and also carry adapters.
        I had mine in about four days and had no complaint about
        their service.

        Is there a Pingel Part # for 1979 GS 850 ?
        I have been on their site and cannot find one.
