Finally Triumph is releasing in the 2007 accessories catalogue a lockable gas filler cap for the Bonneville/Thruxton/Scrambler.
And it really looks nice and flat. The Triumph emblem on top is great :wink:
Certainly it will be a Best Seller

WHY? That would seem like a hassle to go through at every fill-up.I don`t remove my helmet or gloves at the station and fishing in ones pocket for a little key is just unnessasary.I`m sure nobody would ring it with the ignition and fork lock key,to be lost or chastised for scratching up the paint. Plus,IMO,it bears a stiking resemblance to the cap on my Honda generator.If I ever lose my cap,I`ll still probably get one from a 92 Toyota Corolla,which fits perfect also,or the cool billet ones made by one of our own members. Sorry for the rant,I`m in a pissy mood today.

I'm going to buy one for sure. I don't mind the extra 30 seconds if it gives me piece of mind that some dumb jerk isn't going to put something in my tank.

How do you pay? :???:

With cash. The people at my local 76 don`t even make me pre-pay when I ride in on the Bonnie. Its the opposite when I rattle up in the cage.

:-D
I`m sure lots of people will get the cap for a little extra peace of mind and thats fine.I hope they supply it with a half dozen keys too.

My gas cap key is in the same key fob, together with the ignition key. I keep the steering key and brake lock key in a separate key holder not to have a bunch of keys hanging on the ignition.
If I was to lose the fob with the ignition key the gas cap key at that time would become a minor problem. :wink:
