Flush mount gas cap from kuryakn

[405bigdog]

So around the fuel cap recess my fresh paint decided to start coming up. Had it not be air brushed I probably would have just sanded it back down and repainted it. So instead I got one of the paint saver type fuel cap assemblies. Only wish it came in black

I have those on my tanks. Did you get a vented one or a solid one?

I like it

Vented I believe. It has a tiny hole in the center of the bottom of the cap and one on out side between the gears.

Yours appears to sit closer to the tank then mine, which o ring did u use? Per the instructions I used the one that is thicker and designed for the 96-up Harley smooth top tanks

Thats the one I used also

Cool

Thats the one I used also

I quit being a pansy ass and tightened it up some more and it looks better. The hole isn't on a flat surface apparently because the gap is more on the handle bar side

Mine is the opposite with the gap, but I feel if any vapor turns to liquid they will air dry quickly. I do like the fact though that's there is more threads on the paint savor than the OEM one.

What all do you have to do to change it? I really like the looks of that one.

 

[405bigdog]

Nothing other than the cap. Unthread old cap, thread in new two piece cap. Then put the cap key on the key chain. I got mine through a local motorcycle part shop for $60 they can be had online for around the same or a few dollars less.

 

[FrankBDPS]

If you get a chance get an extra cap key or two. They are cheap. I wonder wher I put mine.

I liked the look so much, I just ordered one...and an extra key

There's a plastic key fob to open it...too much work for me and I would be worried about dropping it an losing it in say somewhere close to nowhere. (West Texas, New Mexico come to mind)

Not super conducive for a dog that wanders far from home in my opinion.

I put one on my bike about two years ago and the only issue I have is I keep getting a stain form the gas venting on the chrome paint protector. Just have to clean it every once in awhile with nevr-dull and some elbow grease.

That's why you get an extra key lol one for the key chain and one for the tool bag.
