Flush mount gas cap suggestions?
#17
The getting stuck was a weird situation. Almost feels like pressure holds it locked in. And when it finally comes up, it looks like the whole inside of the cap is saturated with gas. The first time it happened, I needed a wedge to break the pressure and kind of gouged the edge getting it. After that I figured out the right amount of hand pressure to get it to turn. Happened about 3 times, the first time I almost ran out of gas getting it home to troubleshoot.

I'm also running the H-D flush cap ... for now. Been running it since I got the bike because the OE cap got stuck a few times and I scratched the tank trying to get it off. The flush cap's trim ring covers the scratches. The flush cap has never gotten stuck on me. The problem with the H-D flush kit is the trim ring. It's just painted/chromed plastic. It scratches and chips easily. The chrome one on my bike looks kinda crappy when you eyeball it up close.
Oh ... H-D does not sell the ring separately either ... gotta buy a whole new kit if you want a new trim ring..... what a racket, eh?
