    if you do a search someone posted a topic not to long ago about how you can rebuild the gas cap using an automotive thermostat gasket.

    <Edit>
    Ok, I went and did the search for you...

      Or you can get a whole gascap http://www.partsnmore.com/parts/yamaha/xs1100/?filters[fitting]=custom. It's just like the original but it has a funky lock but you can swap yours to it and keep your same key.

      15th part down on the page.

        I think the MNS has a gold chrome cap, so replacing the cap with a white chrome cap wouldn't work very well, especially since his lock would be gold colored in that which cap? Probably best off to go with replacing the gasket, which IIRC can be had from MikesXS (or used to be) and maybe other places sell the same gasket, since it's the same one for pretty much ALL the XS line (the gasket that is).
