Great Petcock

A few years back I ordered and OEM petcock for my CB360. It never worked quite as well as this one has so far. The quality is felt in the gasket. It's a much smoother switch from all the way to reserve. Plus I got this one for about half the cost, though it seems like these old honda parts are becoming more and more available, and that might have something to do with it. Overall, great part, great price.Read full review...

Parts are acceptable, but design lacks understanding

Of the recent wave of aftermarket 1970s Honda petcocks that are less expensive than the OEM rebuild kits have been for the past 20 years, these are acceptable replacements.

However, pay close attention to the rubber washer/o-ring that is around the brass tube and plastic straw filter, inside the nut that clamps the petcock to the tank. It actually doesn't have enough space to evenly occupy the inner sanctum of the clamping nut. So pay close attention to the installation process so as not to destroy this seal.

On a positive note, the K&L petcock has a much closer to OEM fuel flow rate than the other non-K&L version which is very restrictive with the fuel flow. Very important for CB350/CB450/CB500 vintage motorcycle racing.Read full review...

Very nice fuel petcock for 70's Honda CB/CL450's

Old corroded petcocks are responsible for more carb issues on these old Hondas than you realize. Everything from one carb running, and one carb not running, to come & go 'Phantom Ghost" issues that leave you stranded, scratching your head trying to diagnose "carb issues" when it's really those old, corroded, petcocks, with plugged tubes, and fuel screens which let debris enter you carbs fuel bowls. Don't waste your time or money buying pricey Honda petcock repair kits, that NEVER fix these old corroded petcocks back to new state. These copies are just like the originals, work perfectly, and are the best $25 investments you'll ever make, and will save your sanity down the road. It will never again waste my time and money on the old originals. BTW. Take the time to completely drain and clean your tank, before you install these new petcocks, and you won't have to worry with fuel issues again. Just RIDE!!!Read full review...

Great buy

Great OEM quality part for far less than it costs to rebuild your current valve. For the price it makes sense to just replace it. Looks great and works just as expected

Close to OEM

Exact fit as the OEM part, I pulled the old part out of the tank and flushed the tank the new part slid in no problems what so every, on a difficulty scale from 1-- 10,, 10 being hardest it is a 1 you would have to be a complete moron to screw this on up

Meh

It looks good but it does have a very slow drip so not great. Better than the stock one but the slow drip drop is super annoying. Maybe a drop every 10 sec.

Great value!

This aftermarket fuel petcock is as good as the genuine Honda part, for about 1/3 the price.

The price is right

Does the trick, not quite the same quality as a Honda OEM, but at half the price you can't complain.
