Um, hey, :wave I'm asking questions here :afm199
That is what I found... crap.
The shop is resisting doing that.. guess I have to get it to someone better suited. Bummer.
The petcock I got has two gas lines.. and a vent.
Original has three gas lines... DUH!!!
So I guess back to the drawing board on that.. :|
These two items are all that are left... everything else is done.
Oh Hey :wave Sorry I missed it.. too much going on. Now that the Party is done I can focus on getting this finished!!!
My original race mechanic has done all the work. Wobbie.
He did all my shit on my Gamma back in the day.. Sportech Cycle sort of..
I say sort of because most of the work has been at home at night when he can cuddle with the bike and they can spend quality time together. :teeth
And yeah Papi.. give me an address/contact for the painter guy.

Did you try Sudco for the petcock? Or K&L?
I'm a K&L dealer now if that helps. Or one of the specialty places I listed that does triple stuff exclusively.
A good body shop would rather scan it anyway, (good means expensive) or find a crusty old dude that can eyeball it.
I'm sure you found the places that have repro decal sets. They are NOT all the same.

Have you checked out Lakeland Services? They make authorized reproductions of the DENCO exhaust (sweetest sounding aftermarket exhaust I've heard for a triple!! ok'd by Tony Nicosia and Dennis Dean). Sounds like a winner for a replacement exhaust and your neighbors will love you.

Used your sticker contact. Thanks.
We have rebuilt the petcock ourselves. The one I bought did not have a vent tube. The place that would be the vent tube they said hook up to the left cylinder. My mechanic was like :wtf so scavenging some others I think we got one that will work.
Are going back together. Next pic the finished product with me on top. :banana
Has taken longer than I thought. Found a damn leak in the premix oil tank so disassemble. Drain and JB weld. Almost there.

This place offers both a manual replacement petcock requiring you to shut the gas off EACH TIME, or a reman factory vacume petcock by Sudco.
Interesting.
You may even ask if they will buy your old petcock or take it as a core. Who knows.
K&L doesn't offer anything except Pingel. Looks far from original.
