Default train oil cap?

Looking at some pretty cool custom oil caps on ebay motors but I am not quite sure of the exact size for a 07 train? Tell me if 1 5/6 -12 sounds about right. Ya think a 07 manual should be bought first? dugh....Any input will be greatly appreciated

Here ya go...

The oil filler neck on the tank is 1-3/8" ID.
Cap OD is 1-3/4".
Actual dipstick length (from ball joint) is 4-1/2"
LOA is 5-1/4".

All measurements done with a ruler and cheap caliper. You can check my figures by measuring yours!

Be careful with ones made in china or taiwan. I bought one of them and it pissed oil all down the side of my bike. Didn't seal worth a crap. It went straight in the trash.
Just lettin ya know.
