Thanks guys, you're both exactly right!
I'm starting to look forward now, get rid of this sob that's been causing me all this evil for so long and enjoy the new remedy pain.
I'm getting too old to f-around w/this any longer.
Lov'u all for the words!
Evo's & older forever.................they sound bitch'n!

Glad you got your cap back.
I had one stolen off my bike while it was "suppose" to be being worked on by a "friend". It was the original metal one so now I got this plastic piece of crap that rattles so much I can hear it over the motor.

Thanks.
Mine is plastic, but under the fuel door.
Love your bike. I believe over-all, the evo ST WG is the best looking Harley ever.

on my '91 FLHS also. The tank vent is beneath the cap in the filler neck and tube runs down next to the tranny. I always put my cap on my gloves wedged between windscreen and handlebars so as not to forget it. It does look like a "radiator cap" doesn't it? It's got the two "finger tabs" for twisting it off and is kind of hard to get off down inside that tank console hole I find.
Hi , this is my first reply ever, so please excuse me for probably messing things up.My name is Rob, live in Holland and I'm the proud owner of a 1991 FLHS in bright sapphire metallic. (Like GRBROWN).
I also have the metal cap, and leave it in the tank console while refuelling.
You have to watch out for those screws near the hinge, though.
They can do some damage to your knuckles, I found out the hard way
.To Holster Maker: If only knees were as easy to replace as gas caps...

I've never left mine but I bought one of those black diamond ones that Harley sells and manage to drop it everytime I get gas. The thing doesn't do well getting bounced off the concrete.

I love the FLHS. My bike, Bertha, was the very last year that style was ever made. They discontinued the FLHS model designation after 1993, but carried that windshield "toaster dash" front end forward through 1995 on the Police FLHTPs only, until they were finally retired and replaced by the Road King Police in 1996.
Holster Maker: Sorry to hear about your knee troubles. I friend of mine had a total knee replacement a few years back. He's much better with it than before. Just do your exercises to keep your mobility. He called his PT "The Sadist From Hell", but he really enjoyed his meds! Good luck.

6-4, welcome and my black girl loves tall evo guys....
Thanks guys.
Had MRI last week (22nd) and still don't know anything. Doc said they would call for app't, sure glad that sucker got unlocked the next day!
I don't have anywhere to place my gas cap. Doesn't fit in my consul or dash, slides off my seat, etc. I'm about ready to tie a rope to it.
I always parked it on the pump......but not now!
