 Exactly what I was thinking through the whole thread. Non-lockable gas caps. IMO |

Its not the likelihood of a few litres of fuel theft that puts me off, its the opportunity that it creates for some pea brained knob to drop some oh-so-funny foreign object in there that I'd be more concerned about.
Unlocking... Non-lockabe... Sheesh, you get the guys drift. Some pedantic ball breakers around here ....lol.

I have the Oberon screw-on/off cap. The red anodizing turned pink pretty fast, and I need a new o-ring. What ever you get, please don't get a red/gold combination.  LighTech makes some that appear to be hard anodized and don't fade (PJs Parts sells them). It's a spring-loaded 1/4 turn cap. I like the 1/4-turn much better than the traditional screw on/off cap like the Oberon. I have a LighTech cap on my Bandit. |

I have groovy billet/carbon twist off gas caps on half of my bikes and I have never had a problem. I don't think the average yahoo is bike saavy enough to know a locked vs twist off gas cap if they saw it. There is so much more easily committed mischief to get into like pushing your bike over, keying bad words into your tank, etc...  I agree that where you park and leave it is generally more important than concerns over siphoned gas. There are lots of places in my town where I wouldn't ride my bike and leave it un-watched but having my gas stolen would be my last concern. |

No problems on my Multi...other than I keep looking at it because it is nice.  Another option for you from Slingshot Racing. Cheaper at $99.99. If the one you have pictured will fit, then this one will also.  |

the 696 is definitely a differet type gas cap than the old monsters. but i've seen a company with them, just can't remember who.
i wouldn't do it, because people are dicks... sugar, piss, or just taking it... just because... no thanks.

I was going to get one. Then one day someone had stuffed paper down my exhaust pipe. I knew who did it but still that was enough for me not to want a non locking gas cap. I love the looks of them, would love to do it, just rather not take the risk.
Question, when you take off the gas cap where do you place it? I love how the stock one just stays there.

When gassing up I just put it on top of the fuel pump. No biggie.

Wait, you pump gas while you're sitting on your bike? Not saying that's wrong or anything...it just never occurred to me that one would do that. Interesting.  |
