Golan products petcock

Hey guys, anybody used one of these? Got tired of jacking around with my stock one and ordered this.
I'm not even sure there will be enough room, I know the pingle dual outlet wouldn't fit and I had some amazon gift cards so I went this route.


I'll post up pictures when it gets here.

I have not used the Golan petcock, but I do use a Golan super-mini fuel filter (see link below) and I can tell you it is a VERY high quality piece. If their petcocks are as good as their fuel filters I'm sure they are top notch. Ed

The Golan looks almost the same as a Pingel. Pictures would help us see why a Pingel wouldn't fit.

There's not enough room between the petcock and carbs for the dual outlet pingle.
Don't have a picture handy, but there's not much room.
This is not as wide as the pingle, so I'm hoping it fits.

Does a Golan or Pingel single outlet petcock deliver enough fuel for, say a set of Mikuni 38mm flatslides on a highly modified 1327 kz with the 83-84 GPZ1100 cylinder head ported by LarryC? the dual outlet is tight even getting it past the top frame while putting the tank on and off. thanks.

Well the petcock came in, looks like a quality piece.
I love the positive lock and the sound and feel of the "click" when it hit the detents.

The problem i had is that the lever was too long and hit my side cover. Lobbed off the end with a cutoff wheel and massaged it with a dremel flap wheel. Hit it with a polishing wheel and I'm pleased with the result.
Movement is effortless.
