on my beamer I used the oem vacuum petcock (had a hard time finding a fitting after I removed it)
all you have to do is drill the fuel barb deeper so it will bypass the diaphragm (you can see from the top when its thru) then plug the vacuum barb and install any 1/4" manual petcock inline
be sure to blow it out with compressed air before installing back on the tank

Ive been running that way for years now. But like Skipp said, blow it out ad rinse REAL good because shavings get all caught up in there.
