Hi,
First post..... Working on getting bike recently picked up running. Petcock filter tube broken or disintegrated. Oem rivet. I saw plenty of kits available, but not seeing tube. How does tube attach? I'm always down with keeping original when I can. Is this thing worth rebuilding or are the $10 replacements all over the web, or $80 oem replacement the way to go. Thanks!

Welcome here!
Not sure about the filter, I think it is just plugged in to the petcock or fixed by a rim at the bung opening. It might not come out with the petcock in the latter case.
Note that the tank petcock thread is different for different years/models, see e.g. post #7 at: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11392&p=78124
According to many experiences in this forum the (original) filter screen that you are missing is not fine enough to avoid carb issues.
So whatever you decide to do, be sure you have a really clean tank or/and use an additional inline filter.
Not sure if it is practicable to use a much finer tank filter screen instead.
