I know everyone has their own taste, but why????
The Roland Sands gas caps I have seen are $90 plus bucks (Just a fuel cap)and have his initials on them. They look a little better than a stock cap. But none the less, look in Drag Specialties catalog or web site.

Kuryakyn makes a flush mount gauge.

I am one of the guys that has been through 3 HD Flush mount setups . the first 2 went fast , LEDs wents and on 1 the gas cap broke apart. But the replacement unit I got over a year ago is now working great so I dont know but they may have improved them....

Harley is on the second generation of the flush mounts. The first Gens I think are red in the LED fuel guage and the second Gens are blue in the LED fuel guage. I have the second Gens on my bike.

The red is only for the Screamin Eagle models, all others have blue.

Initially they only made the black ones for the 08+ models. Although they look the same and have the same wires. They dont last on the 07 and older models. I have talked to several techs and they have told me the same thing. They said they will work but will always give problems because the ecm sends diffrent ammount of ohms for the different years and models. Now there are seperate part #'s for the 00-07 and the 08+

I have a friend with an 07 Deluxe and he got his flush mounts a little over a year ago and they were red LED, and all the others I have seen that have a little age are red led. Now anyone I have seen lately with newer flush mounts are all blue led. I asked the Harley parts guy and he said" They have a newer improved flush mounts out on the market".
