Looking for 1979 kz1300 a1 tank petcock

What style or series did you go with from pingle? And did you need the adapter plate also?

Yes you need the adapter plate ,its been a long time since i bought it, from memory i got it from ZED PARTS uk.I would think any 1000cc + pingle fuel tap would work the bore size 8mm

If you get the Pingle, you'll have to drill out the opening going into the tank.  Had I known about the previously mentioned petcock (I think) from Suzuki, I'd have gone that route so that I don't have to turn the gas on and off.  That said, my Pingle works perfectly.

Sorry i should have said you need to open the hole in the tank , but you can still fit the original petcock if you don't make the hole to big

I also prefer to have an OFF position. While the Suzuki petcock seems like a good option mostly because no tank modifications are necessary. I decided to go with the Pingle petcock and I did have to open the hole a bit. While the vacuum operated petcocks are helpful because you don't have to remember to turn them off I like the plainer petcock because I can turn off the fuel a half a mile from my destination and finish my ride with dry carbs.
