White Pass in Washington State, we're on our way back to our camp in Packwood. That's Mt Rainier in the background.
Nice you got it out for a leg stretch. Other then a local member I see here in Kazoo its been a very long time since I have seen a triple out on the road or any two stroke for that matter. Don't forget to stretch out the Kaw 750 triples legs a little also !

About a month or so ago, the wife complained about a gas odor in the garage, her sense of smell is unparalleled! Turned out the vacuum operated petcock had succumbed to the effects of the evil ethanol fuel. Pulled the tank and after a quick internal inspection, was very disappointed to see rust in the tank. New petcocks are NLA but there are rebuild kits, need to order one and then address the rusty tank. Thinking of going the Evapor-Rust route, will do it once the temps cool a bit. My garage was 98 degrees yesterday! Outside was 107...

I bought a non vac set-up for my T500 just because it had gone bad. I mean c'mon man it was only fifty years old !

There may be a Pingel out there that could be retrofitted but this is a very unique petcock, has 4 bungs.This is a spare that I have and is in immaculate condition, just need the rebuild kit, plan to order it from Jess, $98!https://jessbikes.com/product/kawasaki-h1h2kh500-petcock-rebuild-kit-most-complete-kit-on/What really sucks is the existing petcock was rebuilt just 6 or so years ago when the bike was restored...
PS- I like the grain and color of that wood the petcock is laying on, hopefully its real

First ride. Amazing machine. Porky, but silky smooth and quick! Once it’s moving, it has wings. Great brakes too, typical Honda.
