raptor 660 petcock is the way to go. About $25 as opposed to (i think) $60 for the stock petcock plus it makes getting your tank off easy as all get out and theres no vac line to worry about. Just remember to plug up the vac nozzle on the carb with a little screw and some liquid gasket and remember to turn it off incase you have a float problem. Your reserve capacity will change slightly. I get 2.4 US gal before reserve as opposed to 2.3 with the stock petcock. Reports on reserve capacity seem to vary. Maybe a model year difference.

Or, if you're a cheap scrounger like me, you can just shorten the existing vacuum line, put some silicone sealant inside it, fold it over and hold it folded with two small zip-ties, and clamp it back into place on the carb vacuum port:

Id have to carefully scrape all the liquid gasket off the inside wall of the port.
