Pingel ?

I measure 46mm from center bolt to center bolt on my 82 kz750 e3. Can anyone confirm this before I order from Z1? I just want to be sure I get the correct adapter plate.

The center-to-center measurement on my 81 650 is 44mm. I'd guess the 750-4s are the same... just a guess.

FYI: for anyone who wants to stick w a vacuum petcock on their 80s model (44mm eye-to-eye), from using the cross-ref & supersession info at the Kaw site for an 83 650-CSR, I'm pretty sure you can use one from a late model Police bike (~2005 - 51023-1375 TAP-ASSY,FUEL).

Thanks for replying. I measured with the petcock still on the tank. I will remeasure when I pull it out to prep for painting just to double check. I'm guessing that it would probably be the same as yours.

I am so glad I waited to double check the measurement. I must have had the ruler at a slight angle when I measured with the petcock still in the tank! 44mm is correct for the kz 750 e3 as well.

oh and for starts i dont know many 78 kz1000 that have vacuum...but im no expert

Absolutely is vacuum, stock, 2 fuel lines, 1 vacuum line, it's an A2A, maybe different from an A2 IDK.

Hell yeah 78 was the year of the dreaded introduction of the vacuum operated Piece of Shits on pretty much all models

I don't have the energy to do stuff twice. My experience is that Pingles are alcohol proof and don't effing piddle!

Got them on several bikes and will be on all eventually. Oh by the way, They's made in the USA!
