another somewhat stupid question

[jackstraw650]

Newbie beginning cafe build of '79 XS standard....I picked up a really nice XS750 gas tank on flea bay recently....and as I was mocking it up in various ways I realized that it had no cap or petcocks...Aha!! so question is What petcocks and/or gas caps will fit and work using this tank?........Tried searching but couldn't find the answer!
Thanks

yeah Mike's xs will have what you need ... a pic of the tank (top and bottom) will help identify it

Tank is from a 1977 XS750 Standard if that helps. I saw the products from Mikes....just not sure which ones would work.............

I know that the '78 xs650 Standard tank has a different gas cap than the xs650 82-3's Special, petcocks are interchangeable on those models. I'd try the Standard cap and hope for good luck.

Couple of petcocks here. Important dimension is the hole centres on tank.

Also part numbers here (not suggesting you buy the bits here tho!)

Thanks everyone for your help! I think I have figured out the correct parts. Now on to tank bashing!!
