Nice to meet you redstar. Don’t let them scare you off. First, what year and model is always helpful. On a fuel cap it shouldn’t be really an issue though. I understand that you think it looks janky. Since this is an easy one have you looked at J&P, Dennis Kirk or Kuryakyn for ideas?

Oh, and don’t be a dick. Just a pointer for you to file away in your people skills folder.

Not lousy with trolls. Your reply just seemed a little smug. Remember when I said to not let them scare you off. Add me to the list.

I’m guessing just a plain gas cap? Domed and chromed?

Oh come on and lighten up Skippy, it's an ongoing humorous reference to a thread from a while back about gas caps. You might enjoy it if you decide to hang around. This may not be the place for you if you're against a little good natured ribbing.
