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!!!

I don't know of any caps except the factory cap that fits.
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.

Thanks! I'm trying to get something black and slowly switch out all the chrome. I guess I will have to break down and head to the Suzuki dealer.

I think the factory cap is the only option. Could you not buff off the chrome and paint/powdercoat it black?

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!

That is looking like my only option and the $60 price tag that comes with it

Junkyards, all over the place, and the market place, people junk them out.

I have a stock gas cap you can have for waaay cheaper than a new one, not sure if your key would work with it though? It was spray painted flat black...

In the tech section there are several threads on re-keying.
If you get a cap with the same keyway as your ig key, re-keying it to match is a simple process.
