*EDIT: Since having the gas cap and using the bike for a a few hundred miles, it has developed a venting issue in the gas tank. See the thread here: http://www.yamahastarstryker.com/index.php/topic,7757.msg76331.html#msg76331 . To fix the problem, I had to remove the setup and revert to the OEM gas cap. Since reverting, the gas leak has gone away. You may have better luck, but by proceeding the same may happen to you.

This is a screw on Roland Sands cap. It actually doesn't lock anymore as a result, but for now that's something I'm okay living with. So far with 53 miles all highway at 80+mph, ~~there doesn't seem to be any venting issues. So far so good!~~

Ew boy, ew boy a black cap that is functional and adaptable. Hooray. Would love some pics of the threads and the lower half of the construction.

Also if you go to the Gear Drive web site they have a video with one hot leather wearing hitch hiking momma.

Do you have a part # or exact name of the adapter. I took a look and couldn't find it. Also is that the Low and Mean gas cap accent?

You'll have to call Tejas Motorsports. Speak to Tim over in parts for the adapter. 281.843.8591. I don't have the PN off the top of my head.

And yes, its the LM gas cap accent.

Thanks for the info Mike. I just called Tim for the adapter and I think I will stick with the original plan of powder coating my current cap. That adapter is higher than giraffe ass.

I powder coated mine. I'll post a pic tomorrow

That would be great. I love the cap Mike has but I can't justify in my head paying so much for that adapter. I have a bunch of guns I need to buy before the 6th.

Did your powder coater disassemble the cap before coloring it? Did they strip the chrome? My powderer says he would want to have the chrome stripped off the cap first as it probably just a pot metal chrome job. I trust his opinion as he has done several powder jobs for me and I have no complaints.

Thanks again and thanks to Mike for all of the information and pics.

Nice. Disassembly does look easy. Thanks for the pic.
