You can buy new seals for factory gas caps. The right cap usually quits venting is the worse thing; then I buy a new cap for that side. I keep a spare set of gaskets on hand but don't do you any good in Australia.

I thought you had bayonet style caps that year. It is a stretch but it goes on. If you have screw in caps, I am sorry for clouding the waters

The '80 LowRider does use the bayonet style caps. The left side is part #61103-73 (non-vented) with gasket #61116-65.

The eBay item number 184882316100, that he posted in his first post, claims to be a #61103-73 non-vented gas cap with the gasket.
