I cut out a piece of metal, welded it in, and then painted over it. I had the tank off for other mods and was going to repaint it anyway, so it was a good time to do it.

Yeah, I posted about those dummy caps a while back in a similar thread. The only down side I could see was they weren't available in black yet. I don't know if that is still the case.

Yeah, I thought about that, but nothing wrong with chrome on black in my book.

My new speed should arrive this week too. I was already trying to figure out what to do with that and these dummy caps seem like they'll do the trick very nicely. Anyone got some updated feedback on them or anything? Be nice to get rid of that gas gauge on the the tank. Thanks!
