I dont see it needing to be super rugged and $25 sounds good to me. Anyone have one and how do ya like it?

 

[Britjoe]

I got one works fine, on my gixer

 

[Fate]

Got one on my TL.

 

[ultimate fighter]

me too. Surprisingly quality piece. I guess cheap chinese crap has come a long way.

however the anodizing isn't the greatest. With sun and gas it seems to fade. I blasted mine and blacked it out, still a neat cheap cap.

 

[DrJellyFingers]

They lose color. And leaks in wheelies

 

[Fate]

Mine's stayed black and only leaked when the bike was laying on its side

 

[Jackstand Johnny]

I was thinking on getting one polished and not anodized but who knows. I don't do wheelies either so I'm good there. I've still got a learning curve to get over with the prosthetic so no funny business for a while probably. Thanks for the imput guys. I feel a lot better about buying one now. Still gonna try to finish rebuilding the stock cap. I'm almost there.

I had one on my 1100 The issue with mine was it was leaking too originally. I noticed the seal wasn't properly fitting the hole so I grounded down the studs where the screws were to let it sit properly.

[DrJellyFingers]

[ninja10kid]

[gsf1200R]

I Got the Cheapest NON Ebay I could get and Its MEH. The threads starting to bugger. but its VOrtext for christ's Sake

This is the style I run. Seems like much better quality then the threaded ones I've seen on other peoples bike. Here's a link.

I had the same problem finding the threads on my Vortex. Well...still do I guess as it's still on my SV gask tank.

With such a small diameter to grab and twist is it hard to open and close that lid with a glove on? I was considering this style but the above question has me skeptical of this style of cap.


I've read some of the cheap chinese ones aren't vented. Anyone ever run into that issue?

 

[skinywhitejesus]

its not chinese... and its not cheap.. but it works, its not threaded and easy to grab with gloves on.... the gas cap in the pictures works pretty good too. its made by driven and it hasnt leaked yet... think i paid about 140 for it from either motomummy or ebay.. cant remember.

 

[DrJellyFingers]

for 140$ it better refuel itself and give u a blow job too

With most things you get what you pay for.

Nope. you push on it and it's a 1/4 turn to open or close. It's always surprised me what a good product it's been considering the price.

I have a horribly faded black vortex gas cap I bought on Craig's for $5.
