Hi

I want to replace my fuel cap. Can anybody confirm if the hitchcocks fuel cap below, will fit my tank.



This my current tank and cap.








Sorry - I don't know what year the tank is as my bike is a bit of a bitsa

I have already bought this type but it doesn't fit



Hope all my pics work!

Hmmm - ok the text went a bit weird - but the pics are there

Hi, no it will not fit. It has the same fitting as the type in the bottom photo. Vince

+1 to Vince, the one in your top photo is for the older tanks with the UK style filler neck.



This is the sort you're after. I presume our hosts also stock them.

Thanks both for the helpful info.

I was hoping to fit an older style cap without a lock.

You can just remove the locking mechanism from inside these. A.

I have the same tank and this fits:

The postage (from Germany) hurts a little but they're pretty quick and the cap is nice quality.

Adrian - that's an option but I really wanted a cap without a lock

Count Johnny - That looks like the kind of thing I need

Did you use one of the rubber gaskets too? thick or thin?

Assume that most Harley caps up to 1982 will fit also

Thanks
