  • Gas cap for standard tank

    Need a nice cap to fill a square hole. I don't need oem, and I would perhaps prefer a cap without a lock. (I know this offends some purists, sorry).

    Peace

    Did you ever find out anything about a cap without a lock? I recently put a new ignition on mine and dont want the hassle of 2 different keys

    Thanks

      Don't forget about your left side cover - it needs the same key as the gas tank. Might be able to exchange the key part of the ignition switch with the original unit, but I'm not sure how to remove/install it.
      I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.
