Gas Cap Replacement
04/25/16 at 18:09:01

Here is my story (it's lengthy bear with me)
My bike was stolen 2 years ago and I just recently got it back. When getting it road worthy again I went the bobber route because the person who stole it spray painted and generally trashed my bike. I have it up and running now but the last thing I need to replace is the gas cap. They replaced it with what appears to be a cap off a gas generator. I do not care about getting a locking gas cap again. What, if any, are good replacement caps? I've searched all over the internet and finding thread diameter is hard and I don't want to nickle and dime myself to death buying and trying new caps.

Thanks!!!

There are not any threads on the cap.....it has locking tabs that come out when the key is released. I think you need to get a factory cap from your Suzuki dealer or an online parts supplier.

If you get a cap with the same keyway as your ig key, re-keying it to match is a simple process.
