Well, just in case you've not seen the reply in another part of this forum...

Mike's XS Non-Vacuum Petcock  #20-0019 does fit the standard tank.  Rather than retype all the stuff, I'll find the place where the other is written - it may be in 'Modifications', but then again...

Thanks fellas.

Yes stock taps.  The bolt centres are c48mm on the tank / oem taps.
The manual taps from the XS650 are 42.5 or 45mm.

Adaptor plate?
Good thinking, Batman!

I'll see if I can find out what type of taps the 850 used.  But not soon.  I've got a car to get running.  Whilst I'm working on it, the Tiger is outside on the driveway and everything else is on the back verandah.

Ray, The XS750's use the same taps as the Special / RH tanks without the vacuum valve on them. They are a different hole spacing to the Standard 20 - 24 litre tanks so won't fit without an adapter plate. The late XS850 did come with a 20 litre tank but I didn't see anything on Mikes site that would fit them. Are you running the stock taps on your 24 litre tank?

This is the part number I came up with 3G1-24500-03-00 apparently originally fitted to an XS 650 SG

I punched your numbers into the  site link above and it came up blank?
Just last week I put a seal kit through both taps on my project bike and worked a treat, I think I got'em from Z1 enterprises


Sorry disregard what I said...just read your post again and you dont want original

I had another failure to proceed yesterday morning.  So I had to take the W(oman's)800.  My new paint job didn't get it's first public showing.    And I was so looking forward to the anticipated oohs & ahhs.

One of the petcocks leaked from the petcock/tank seal - more like a river than a leak.

I think it was the other petcock that the vacuum seat didn't.  Seat that is.  So it just let fuel run.

Anyway.
'Mike's XS', in the USofA, sells manual petcocks that I know fit the XS750.  A friend has them.

I'm wondering if anyone can confirm whether the 1100 & 750 share the same design petcock?

This is the link I found.

I think that manual petcock is, for the amount of use mine gets, a better option.  One thing I like is the option of running the carbs 'empty' when I put it away.  Fuel will evaporate from the tank, a bit, but if it evaporates from the carb it tends to create problems.

I know I could just replace the seals, again...  I'm looking for a better solution.

Any other options would be gladly received.
