Are the newer style petcocks as good as oem?
« on: August 28, 2025, 10:24:10 PM »
I’ve got an 850T tank that needs petcocks. The newer style are much cheaper, are they any good for non stock 850T?  As good as the more expensive petcocks?  Thank you

I put that style petcock on the v65 about five years ago. No problems so far.
