Default Fuel cap Identification Please

Hi

I don't know what section this should go in but I bought a new fuel cap but the wrong one arrived, it is a Harley Davidson Live To Ride chrome fuel cap non vented left hand thread picture below,
Could you tell me which bike this will fit please.

Sorry if I got anything wrong here, I have only done a few posts before.

Doubt that is a genuine HD part, HD always has their proper name on that logo.

It'll fit my 94 split tank saftail.
But I took them off for something less gaudy.
So to answer your question, any split tank with flush bungs left side.

dusty-kid: if you want to go through the hassle of trying to return it through e-bay or just leave a negative review of the seller. Lesson learned about buying HD parts on e-bay. Not everyone is honest.

They changed the thread midyear 96...I am guessing emissions related....so gas caps fit 84-early 96...late 96-99 on split tanks...some aftermarket will fit both...

They look exactly the same visually...hard to tell the difference by looking at them...the easiest way to tell a early from late 96 softail ...the late 96 has a fusebox under the seat
