...'was taking the day off - 1st one in over 3 months - 'stopped in at the local gas station to fill up the gas tank...
When I had finished filling the tank the gas cap lock FELL APART... the 2 tiny screws holding the locking mechanism onto the cap would NOT tighten up and the locking lip would NOT fold back to clip onto the other part on the tank so it would seal and gas wouldn't pour out all over the tank and hot engine...
My wife took the other one off the "parts bike" and brought it to me, but the rubber gasket was shot, and it was from a Midnight Special and didn't look right on the SG ('80 Special). The gold was coming off as well....
Logged onto Bike Bandit and they have a replacement gas tank cap with 2 keys for $54.63. 'ordered it and it got here within 4 days! (regular ground shipping)
The part # for my '80 Special is 4RO-24602-01-00
I thought the price was a little high but this gas cap is a brand new replacement for my 25 yr old m/c
I highly recommend BikeBandit if you're looking for OEM parts for your XS11
