I just compared the gascap from my 06 t-100 to the T-Bird and they are identical. I will be ordering my Monza cap soon from New Bonneville.com.

In a word: SEXY


For those needing more infos:






Here's a link to the installation instructions

And the small print!
A tad less than $160.00

@ Rob:
Keep me posted if this really DOES fit perfectly please.
If so - it'll be on my Christmas list.

My only concern is the size of the top of the flip cap. the filler on the tank of the bird is very close to the instrument cluster chrome.

Wow ! Not sure if i'm thrilled about the look, but having a hinged cap would be awesome ! Screwing mine off it sometimes gets stuck and it a real pain. Plus one of these days i'm bound to drop it and ruin the chrome like i did with my speedys cap. So a simple push of a button to pop it up and no chance of dropping it is great ! So if anyone gets this and it fits perfect and all, i'm probably up for it. I need to see pics of it on a bird first too.

EDIT: Ahh, well i think i'll have to pass. $159 plus shipping is just much too close to $200 for a friggin gas cap....talk about a profit margin! A few more accessories like that and harley guys would be talking about the high cost of a triumph !

I know! Tell me about it...
Made in the UK they say - but doesn't justify $160 +

Does look/sound good though...

OK - so if I put $1 a week away in my piggy-bank, in just under 4 years I can buy myself one!!!!
