Well I have them on now and they look great. I did notice that the time between lights going on and off is about 4-6 seconds. I was filling it slow (gallon of gas being poured from a jug) and the lights take a few to catch up. These are black and I think they look really good on my pearl black paint. They match the paint on the speedo! They are also for a 08 and up ST. But they are working on mine so far and its a 07.

They do look fantastic on the bike. my dealer has ordered a 3rd set for me....had them first installed in August, so this is my 3rd set in 2 months. Not only to my LED's burn out, but the gas cap falls apart....a few days after the LED's burn out....it's pretty unbelievable, especially for an expensive part.

once my warranty runs out, I am going to check out Kuryakyn. I hear they have a very nice set......

the smooth look they give the tank and the bike is really slick...

Default led gauge

Don't buy it, save your money. I got flushed chrome gauge for 4 months ago, now after warranty is up, the gauge stopped working. 2 out of 7 lights are out. Called HD, they said too bad, it's out of warranty now. Sorry, that's all you get for $200 bucks.

Thumbs down

How many times have we had this discussion about these caps????
I bought mine in the States in April and still havnt fitted em as i am getting my bike painted in November.
What worries me is that if they fail and i revert back to original equipment i will have to pull of the trim ring from the filler side and f&%k up the paintwork.
And i HATE the way the fuel filler cap sits above the trim ring...wish i had never seen this product...

Maybe you should consider keeping the stock caps and selling flush mount caps on ebay or the like. Then you wouldn't have to worry about the paint, the way the filler cap sits above the ring or seeing them again.

Rocker Mike never thanked you...but thanks for the number. I too had a set that went bad and I called (thanks again RM) and it was done at no charge. Attached is a pic. One post said something about the right side being a little higher and it seems to be....just a hair. Sure makes a clean look though!
