Just putting it out there , I picked up a new petcock , pingel  style made by 
drag specialties  0705-0117 on a Canadian supplier called fortnine . I paid 
44 Canadian which  is about i guess about 28 American , thing is selling price at every supplier is 87 American . So I think. It’s a mistake on there part so it’s a great deal , I wanted a single outlet , because on my 1980 kz Ltd 1000 carburetor only has one inlet and and I hated the 2 outlet I had . I if your looking for a single outlet petcock this might help you out

That's a good price.
I've used the drag specialties/pingel petcocks in other projects, with no complaints.

TIL Fortnine is a store...
I've only known them for their Youtube Channel.

I don't think its a mistake, that place has a massive warehouse so they probably bought those petcocks in bulk at a steep discount. The markup on them is probably pretty good, as long as they can make money and keep the customers happy.

I have been buying from them since before they did the name change, for sure over 10 years now. A friend of mine has one of those on his KZ900.
