1980 left side petcock

[foreda]

Greetings
I am looking for a left side petcock in good condition for a 78-80 XS11 Standard. Thanks

Dale,

You can buy a new one. I don't know why, but it appears 2H7-24500-00-00 FUEL COCK ASY 1 is peculiar to the XS1100G. I linked the part number.

Took your advice and bought a new one for the left side. Unfortunately, this petcock will not fit the Standard with original air box as it hits the air box and will not let the tank fit. It would probably work if someone has pods but pods are not my preference. I suppose you could mount it on the right side and turn the vacuum nipple around and use one petcock but again, I try to stay as original as possible.

Marty, there's another one listed for the left side:
3G1-24500-03-00

It also shows that it's used in other bikes too.

1979 XS1100F FUEL TANK

1980 XS1100G FUEL TANK
1980 XS650G FUEL TANK
1980 XS650SG FUEL TANK
1981 XS1100H FUEL TANK
1981 XS650H FUEL TANK
1981 XS650SH FUEL TANK
1982 XS650SJ FUEL TANK
1983 XS650SK FUEL TANK

Since the smaller bikes only use the left side, it makes sense that the left one is more available. (and the right side ones are only for the 78-81 standards)
With this reasoning, the 650 petcocks that MikesXS sells should fit right?

I can't figure why the other one listed wouldn't fit.
Unless the 80G fitment is a little different than Foreda's 78

That part should be peculiar to the XS1100G. It's unfortunate that the OEM part doesn't fit. I would not have expected that.
