I was the only one to show up to ride with Frank who rides an 05 Road Glide and as I relayed what happened, he relayed the importance of finding the bottom half before my 05 EGC popped codes.
We went back around the place and after about an hour or so, we found the bottom part on the other side of the raod, on the other side of the ditch, and sitting pretty on a grassy hill. WOW! Must have been hit and separated, no damage, snapped together and fit as advertised. Whew! What a save!
Hmmm....cap holster? Maybe a velcro model somewhere to put the cap while re-fueling? I would probably consider buying one. Maybe fit somewhere on the fairing
Congrads on the save!
Wow, a gas cap holster. I might do the velcro trick, good idea.
Man those guys make me feel old...I have almost 20 on Doc Hess.

My Ford F-150 doesn't even have a gas cap....I think it is pretty cool. However, if something in that system fails, it's probably gonna be expensive.

I figured Harley would have done something like that to the newer Touring bikes....
