I'm doing a bobber and thought this would look sweet in raw finish on the tank waiting back from them on what the size of it is just wondering if any of you guys used one might know if it worked I think it would look sweet as hell add to the old school look

Please post anything you get back from them. I have been wanting something like this when I stretch my tank. I am looking to go more smooth on the overall look and that cap would be GREAT to eleminate some distractions on the bike.
Now just need to find a way to remove the OEM speedo cluster and go more smooth and build-in.

I like it, and would love to find something like this but to me it needs a wider flange at the top to fill the negative space.

thats not gonna something you can just drop in, your gonna have to do some body work (welding, cutting, bondo) to get it to fit.

And that's PERFECT...it keeps the 'bolt-on' customizers from using it!!!

so the outside of the bung is 2 and 3/8. did you measure the gas opening in our tank? i dont remember off hand but i think its smaller that that. so yes it work work if you have a grinder, hole saw, welder, bondo, paint and time. it will also work if you pay some one to make it work. can you drop it in and use it as is? most probable answer........nope.
