My wife gave me a new Chrome Monza cap for the Bonnie this morning as a birthday present. She witnessed the aggravation a few weeks ago of me trying to remove the *($#% stock gas cap. No more worries about tighting the cap to much after fueling. Looks pretty nice on the tang and opal.

This was one of my first, best & easiest mods. Great cap. I believe they are available in both chrome & polished aluminium from several of the suppliers.

Done deal, I'm ordering that! The only ones I ever saw were a brushed finish. I put that same kind of cap on my pristine '98 Miata and it really makes it. Is that chrome or polished stainless? Either way, it looks GREAT on your bike.

Not only do they look great on the Creamsicles but they work great too! Love it!

Heres link to instructions

Monza

Only took a few minutes to fit. Important thing is to lube the threads as noted in instructions.
