Hello to all, it was very difficult to dessemble the old gas cap, because a very hard dry adhesive. I take a little cutter and need 6 hours - a good piece of craftsmanship. The result you can see on the pictures, all's well that Ends well. The paint saver Looks good - thank you Mr. Wright! Eumel
Nice job, looks great. Good riddance to the stock POS. I wonder how many paint jobs they have ruined or left their mark on.
Man, I'm having my buddy re-paint my wife's new Mastiff in a few months. Maybe I should rip off the old paint saver before he does as I'm sure it'll ruin the paint after. What parts did you need for the new cap? I've looked at some and can't figure out which parts actually fit. Do you mine posting the links or part numbers? Thanks!
You absolutely should. You cannot/ should not just mask it off and paint around it. Looks like the OP used a Kuryakyn with Mr. Wrights ring which just covers the bubbling paint so you wont need. Once you remove the Paint saver (ironic name) you can use any Harley gas cap. Tons of post on the subject http://www.bigdogbiker.com/threads/show-me-your-gas-cap.79585/page-2#post-794122
you need: - flush mount vented gas cap, part number Küryakyn 8309 (with 1 key) - more keys extra part number 8311 - Special Silicon RTV - paint saver (stainless steel polish) from Mr. Wright (Shannon) greetings from Germany! Eumel
