Leon,

I think as Ed said the tap on the 77 is different, but I'd assume the tank itself would be the same. If so, this is definitely a route to go. As long as I have a reserve option with the tap, that would be good. All I know is I'm tired of the stock petcock and the issues I keep getting, even after I do a full rebuild on the thing.

so it would appear one of these www.pingelonline.com/prodcat/fuel-valve-adapters.asp adapter plates would bolt to the tank then you can thread one of their petcocks right on.

Leon,

Yup! I checked the site out fully after you posted to get a feel for what's there. Looks like that 44mm plate then one of the taps would be great for it. Now to decide on the Suzi or Pingle tap...

I like this idea, I'm gonna look into this as well. I have the same old petcock with my tank. I was gonna just buy an NOS one to replace it but this is something new.

So I know this has nothing much to do with my thread, but on the way out of the gym today, I saw this sexy number sitting there... Bone stock, in immaculate condition. What a nice bike...

OP's prerogative.

That bike looks very familiar...

That or it's a very popular restoration color.

GPZ- this is up in Thunder Bay, Ontario (Canada) so it must be a common restore colour.

Wrench- it's a good thing I was all done when I saw this- otherwise it might have made things a little difficult to focus on!

"Colour" must make it commonwealth :laugh:

I was thinking along the lines of being a member's.

How to tell if you're an old bike nut;

You're more distracted by the Z1 in the gym parking lot than the hottie rocking the Stairmaster.

Haha up here in Canada we have some different spelling on some words :P

Haha pretty much, when you tend to stare at the bike more than the other masterpiece :P
