Flush Mount Gas Caps

[AirportFF]

There was some interest in these as an alternative to a weld in cap before the big crash.

Get the unvented cap, since the SS759 and Magna tanks have a vent hose that runs to the tank.

Mine will be in this week. I'll post a pic when I get it on the tank.

thanks for keeping the link alive, i was looking for it, but now my search is done.

[AirportFF]

It's just a coincidence that I saw your post. I just talked to the guy this morning

[joshsbawlz]

awesome man, thanks

How do you instal them?Do you just jb weld it and slide it on?

[AirportFF]

That's all there is to it. Like I said, when I get it in I'll get some pics

[olpanrider]

hey airport - that gas cap mod seems pretty easy. I for one would definately be interested in your feed back before I drop the $$.

does anybody know if these flush mount gas caps will fit our bikes?

They will fit a SS750 and the Magna. That I'm sure of. The way he explained it was anything with a 1 1/2" opening in the tank

The cap showed up yesterday. It even came in the original Kuryakyn packaging. Looks nice, won't be able to try it on my tank until it comes back from paint. But it did look sweet on Susan's.

[MetricChop]

can you post a pic of what it looks like on your lady's bike

[AirportFF]

Her stuff is back at the painters. Should be back this weekend. As soon as I get it I'll get a picture.

[MetricChop]

Thats cool. Cant wait to see the pics. If i like the look im going to order one :wiggle:

[AirportFF]

Ok here it is in the tank. It's a nice snug fit, didn't think I was gonna get it back out. :happy:

[olpanrider]

I assume that's a mock up pic, not a permanent install yet. Do you have a pretty good comfort level with any potential future leaks after study the overall design / install at this point? BTW - it looks great. I likey...............

[AirportFF]

I just put it there to get a pic. It's really for my bike. Once the install is finished I can't forsee any problems with it.
Hopefully I'll have my stuff back from the painters in the next week and I'll get it put in.
For the price you can't go wrong.

[MetricChop]

I like the look it gives the tank. Thanks for the pics. Now i Got to plese the old lady so I can order one. Money is alittle tight due to just buying a house. :break bed

[2003SS750]

So I take it the cap will sit lower and more flush with the tank when you actually put it on....

[AirportFF]

That's as far down as I put it. I don't think it will sit any lower than that, since the lip of the opening sticks up higher than the area of the tank surrounding it.

[Rheopipo]

Sorry for asking but what is "jb weld"?

[AirportFF]

It's a two part epoxy. Comes in a small tube. Squeeze out equal amounts and mix it together. Will bond just about any two surfaces together
I use it quite a bit on my remote control cars if I break something and don't have a spare part handy.

Hey Folks, Just Got My Cap Today And Went To Install It.having A Hard Time Getting It In.how Much Pressure Was Needed For The Sleeve To Go Into The Hole.any One With Any Input Would Be Helpfull. Thanks,1badd750

[AirportFF]

You may have to use a small half round file and cleam the inside lip of the gas tank filler neck. Mine had a small edge near the bottom that the cap would hang up on.

[Cougar]

Just a question on this gas cap.

I was told that for our bikes would we need the Vented one. Also why not just buy one here, grind off the threads and JB weld it in?????

[AirportFF]

The tank is already vented. That's what the small tube is under the right rear on the tank.
As for removing the threads, I'm not gonna bother to sit there and grind all that down. For the couple extra bucks it cost it's worth it.

[AirportFF]

Just to give n update on this. I picked up my tins on Friday night and the gas cap went right in without a problem. I'll get a pic in the morning.

ANyone else make gas caps for ss750? I got a new tank and my old gas cap doesn't fit. Now I have to use two keys, one for the ignition, the other for the gas cap. Pain in the ass!!!! Where else can I find a gas cap with no key?
