Hmm, I won't be home again to take a closer look at it until Wednesday... do you mean where it's located or are their differences in the fasteners?

Check out the parts fische on the following site:

Change the year and or model if your tank isn't set up the same way. My 76 CB550 has a tank from a 74 Cb500 so I had a heck of a time trying to find the correct petcock.

Good luck.

Unfortunately I've tried them and they don't have any in stock. Have a salvage parts co trying to get one for me.

One type is held on by two screws inside the removeable bowl and the other screws onto a threaded stub and there are two different thread diameters

Ya I have one that did not fit my new tank.  It was off my 78 cb550k tank.  If it fits you can have it for the price of shipping.

It is the kind that has two screws through the bowl. Cbass I'll gladly take you up on your offer, I'll contact you directly. Here is a pic...

  • If you can't fix it with a hammer, it's electrical

So, what's wrong with yours? If its leaking, all of the necessary gaskets to fix it are still available from Honda.
