matching fuel caps
I want to change out the caps on my slim. There really isn't many choices for caps that have a matching dummy cap for the left side. So, post up some ideas on aftermarket matching caps and where you got 'em. I've seen a few on different websites but haven't found one that I actually like yet.

Not a cap but
I've been considering this, but don't typically like putting things on my bike.

that's the direction I'm leaning. it looks great on your bike
EDIT: aaaaaand it's not an option on mine due to the fact the left side is not an actual hole to mount the left (gauge) cover. the tank is solid underneath the left cap, there's just a mount to screw the dummy cap on.

The guy who swapped his new Breakout tank for the 5 gal tank has a flush mount cover for the left side. I asked him where he got it or how he made it but have not gotten a reply yet. Im wanting flush mounts on my Slim too. The stupid left side dummy cap is pretty hokey.

I'm pretty sure all of the new big twins with the big tanks have it. It looks like an afterthought now that they got rid of the left side gas gauges.
