Gas Caps

[Gas Man]

Ok...guys... my tank is getting repainted... I want to remove the landmarker paint saver ring... I want to then get something totally cool.

I have always wanted a pop up. just for the pure sleekness. But I'm open for more ideas...

What do you all got up your sleeves?

Can't go wring with a Matt Hotch pop up.

Only one problem... I'm not sure BDM will want to go thru all that for me with the welding.. unless I can talk them into letting me do it before I send it to them...

 

[Tim]

I don't see why you couldn't have one welded in before you send your tank off, unless they are just touching the paint up.

 

[Gas Man]

Yeah welding in..just isn't something I want to get into... there are more options that don't require the weld.

Plus welding will ruin the liner/sealer which would have to be stripped out and re-done.

There is a guy on ClubChopper with a thread on wanting to change his pop up cap to a regular cap due to it rattling.
I don't have any experience with pop ups so don't know if this is a problem with all or just certain brands.
Just a though for you,
Ray

I bought a spinner cap this summer for when I split my thank and widen it. It comes with a weld in bung. It's made by Covington Cycles and is chromed. It sits down close to the tank not sticking up high. https://www.covingtonscyclecity.com/flash.asp?scene=&subscene=&goto=

Westbury makes some great caps also but I wanted chrome so went with Covington. Westbury does make an adapter that might work for my cap to fit the stock tank. I may call and find out.

This one would fit with all you Jester's!

These are all sleek and cool looking but expensive!

Later,
Ray

I put on a set of pop ups for my 03 with the split tanks. They look nice, but the Landmark functions a lot better. Meaning: the pop-up you need to really tighten them down or they will rattle loose and fly off (from experience). They also are a bitch to get off when they are tight because there is not much grip on the pop-up area.

 

[Gas Man]

I think I like that East Bay one... there is no spin in paint saver. Push it, it pops up, and spin the whole assembly out.

I thought about the westbury too, but I THINK I want something downplayed. But either way, once the landmark comes out, the options are growing.

Kuryakyn Aircraft Flushmount.........Smooth, Clean Vented or non vented.
Simple Install. I should have some Picks at home.

I wouldn't mind seeing the pics and a link Blitz.

Have you got a spanner to take it out. If not call Landmark and they will send you theirs for like $6.

 

[Gas Man]

Why? Let BDM take it out. They will have to to paint the tank anyway.

And they will probably epoxy it right back in according to their standards!

 

[Gas Man]

Nope... I had already said something to Bob about it... he said he's sure they won't care... I have a call into the paint dept... waiting on a return call.

I can send you the wrench if you need,

 

[Gas Man]

Thanks Rainman... I wouldn't want to put you out, I could order it... besides, wouldn't I want to leave it in for shipping?

But I will remember that if I need it. TNX!

I got a pop up you can try after you get the paint saver ring out. Let me know and if you like it give me $40 if not send it back. If you need pics let me know.
