Step right up folks, and try your strength opening the fuel cap on this lovely beauty. Yes sir, looks are deceptive. She can purr like a cat but only when she's fed properly....

What is the deal with these fuel caps? I've done a search, and a lot of owners suffer with hand cramps from opening
during fueling. Is there a way to lube the cap to make it easier to open?

Hi

an half-off-topic:

from where the locking featured fuel caps could be ordered to SM, and if there are several different ones, then which one would be have the best quality/price ratio, according to ownersÂ´ experience ?

Rgds,
inc

Inc- I have THIS ONE from Brent, at Newspeedmaster.com, and been very pleased with it- easy to install, operate, and most important for me, the looks.

It comes with a plastic "opener," which looks a bit like 3 inch hair comb, with all but the end tines removed. You just fit the "comb" across the diameter into opposing slots, and turn on and off. I keep this little tool either in my fork bag, or on my key ring. So it's not a true lock, in that some one could easily whip up a gizmo to accomplish the same task. I went for the looks, as opposed to locking concerns.
