So what do you think about the fake left side gas cap on some if the models ?
 

Is it a necessary thing to balance out the look of the gasket tank ?
Or Could you do without it , and be just as happy with one .

It's the gas gauge.

A throwback to when it was two tanks and even farther back when one was the oil bag....

Don't like the execution of the gas gauge/fake gas cap on the 2006 Fat Boy I have. It simply "jams" in the access hole, more-or-less held in place by a shaped gasket. Cheezy design for ease of assembly, I suppose.

It solves the problem of where to place the cap when refueling.

It is necessary for us that have OCD. :D

That is all it is though since the gas gauge is a joke.

I run flush gas caps and the second one is the fuel gauge. I much prefer the cleaner look.

I swapped out both caps with aftermarket, the left houses the gas and charging system gauges, the right is a matched cap. And this is the official spot for the cap while filling. :)

Just another touch that makes your ride one of the sweetest looking on the forum

Harley took away the dual disc on my Fxlr. Don't give them any ideas about taking away the dual fuel caps. Even if 1 is fake
