Count me in also. 
   I have a dual outlet on my bike (Suzuki ) with the Keihins and the GPz with the RSs got a single outlet. 

ETA: They are not very intuitive. I've spent decades switching petcocks up for reserve, down for on etc... and the Pingel goes front to back. I ended up putting small stickers on the tank, by the valves to remind me.... sux gettin' old.  
Don't be ridiculous! It's only a flesh wound!

Well done. 


I also added "GAS?" stickers on the dash to remind me to torn the Pingel on and off!

I have my muscle memory process getting on and off the bike that includes flipping on the fuel, I don't even remember what it's like to use the original Z1 petcock.

I really really just wish Pingel added some detents or notches that the fuel lever would click past/through in order to make it easier to rapidly switch to reserve and be confident it will stay there (vs my leg or something brushing against it and turning off the fuel. This isn't an issue when turned to full "on").

I understand the muscle memory...
   In high school I rode a pretty worked over Yamaha RD400. Starting procedure included keying the ignition, turning on fuel tap, folding up right side rear-set foot peg (to clear the kicker) and kicking it a couple of times. Many times I wish I still had that old thing... sigh.
