I don't need a new one, but I just might get one anyway.
Just for bling, oh wait... and easier gas filling stops = functionality = safety. That IS important, right Cool

Which is your favourite?

You guys don't worry about people make the beast with two backsing with your fuel at all?
For some reason, that is really preventing me from getting rid of the one piece of gold on my bike... Which I think looks like SHIT against the Tangerine color of my S2R...

Something I did @2.5years ago for fun one afternoon -- local customer upon visiting my fabrication shop purchased before it was even finished. (later polished to nearly chrome finish)  Gascap popups and then can be unscrewed. Did another two iterations similiar for others.

My favorite: currently testing a new design that has zero external attachment bolts.  (pictures to be posted once we get the legal paperwork finished to protect the design)

Damn Mark your "pop-up" cap is not only beautiful, but a brilliant design! 

Please send the next one of these caps directly to me.  Grin

BTW, I have the Oberon cap, but the red anodizing faded at the speed of light (pun intended):


I suppose that having it powder-coated is my only choice for a long-lasting finish?

Okay, I'm gonna ask a real dumb question. These aftermarket caps don't have locks, so it's just a twist off, right?
