Unneeded parts.....
Some of the parts that didn't make the cut.....
No need for any of them, as bike will never go back to original...
And I don't plan on another GS project that I would use these stock parts on for myself.
Although I will hang the gas tank on the wall for decoration....It has around 80 holes in it....
I have about 100 miles on it as I have been shaking it down, since spring came early this month.
Bike now has the 29's off the black GS, and it pulls like a freight train.......I'll never go back to the 26's even with the stage 3...
Need a Pingle fuel tap to use with the 29's, since they have no vacuum take off for the stock tap to work.

NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

For the petcock vacuum you can put in a vacuum sync adapter in one of the sync ports. Solder the end shut and drill a small hole in it. the small hole will allow enough suction to work the petcock but not suck on the diapram excessively. Maybe something like a 10 or 15 thousands hole will do the trick. Petcock doesnt require much suction to work.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

I'll get a different petcock that works without vacuum, since the petcock I have now isn't really the right one anyway.
The Pingle I can get to direct the outlet straight towards the carbs...plus it will dump fuel at about twice the rate of the stock tap.
The tank was the only thing I'll be wanting to keep, as stated....I have a place to hang it in the garage for decoration....plus it could have some value in another 20 years

I'm using the stock petcock now with prime as on, and on/reserve as off......but I need a reserve available because I hate walking or pushing
The Pingle will work perfect, just not the cheapest route

Yea they can be bought with a reserve feature.
The other GS1000 that I pulled the carbs from has one now.
But I need to leave that one, since the 33 smoothbores I'm putting on that will need it like the 29's did.
