Pop up gas cap

[Jwooky]

Any one tried the pop up gas caps?

Mine is leaking below the paint saver I think so was thinking of going this route.

Some have tried on this forum with not so great results. have to change the bung. Those who tried it will chime in

Based on what I have read, if you remove paint saver, the threads are same as standard Harley.

I have one. Never had any issues with it.

I put a pop up in my K9 tank no problem
Make sure you use ample amounts of JB weld when you intall the new cap all the way up and under the cap or you will end up with bubbling paint around the base of the cap.

Those look like separate cap and bungs? Have links ?

I was looking at the direct fit one piece style. Not sure though.

Sorry that was a long time ago, I don't remember any of the details of my setup. You are right, it is a separate cap, and bung. The hole was cut into the tank, and the bung welded in flush as part of the tank. Wish I could have been of more help.

Any thoughts on something like this.

I would remove the paint saver.

Looks like that would be a good way to go. My setup would be pretty invasive compared to that one.

Here's a pic of Rocky's duel pop up caps. They seem to do well so far.

Ricky's tank is great. If she fills it up completely does it spill out ever?

Oh I like that. Need more info, who makes them, do they seal well? Are they one piece or two piece?

She doesn't fill it completely, but very close. They seal well with no leaks. Just inspect the "o" ring for wear and change out when needed.

They came custom like that when she purchased the bike, but I've seen them on other sites. Basically, it's like others have mentioned. The base screws/seats into the original Harley style bung and is secured with either JB Weld or some type of epoxy that is formulated for use with fuel applications. The ones I've seen are stainless but as you can see, can be painted to appear almost unseen. Not sure what you mean about one piece or two. I guess 2. The base that screws/secures into the bung and then the pop up cap that fits the new style cap.

Just so there's no confusion,
Here's Ricky:


And here's Rocky:
