    After Market GS gas caps

    Does anyone have a review of these and do you know if the locks can be changed/swapped, like the originals?

    I dont need the cap, but sure could use a source for new cap seals.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      The quality isn't as good as genuine but it's ok (and about 1/5 of the price of OEM). You can swap the lock barrels over on the copies that I have seen.

        I have one on my 1000, and find it ok. Far better than 30 year old original that leaks when you fill up and park it on side stand and come back from paying for it and find fuel all over a hot engine, FIRE well nearly.

          Thus my post about finding a stash of cap seals. You also need to replace the oring at the bottom of the lock cylinder..under the black plastic cap.
