Try some of that cylicone spray on that cap. Will keep it nice and lubricated. Or just have the stealer get you a new one

 

Have had my Breakout since first week in July. I had to get HD to replace the first tank because I found two runs on the paint, they had to order a new tank and it took a month to show up. The stock gas cap on the first tank was a bear to get off sometimes but it always came off after a minute or so. When the new tank showed up and got it on the bike, that gas cap worked easy at first. Here in the last couple of weeks its starting to get difficult to remove but always comes off after fighting with it a minute. I'm now looking for something I like to replace it with.

 

Silicone could damage your O2 sensors, so would be cautious not to get any in the fuel.

+1 on the flush mount cap. It's much, much easier to get off and looks much better than the stock one. The stock gas cap reminds me of the cap on the old metal gas cans my dad used to fill our lawn mower.

 

+2 on the flush mount gas cap. It cleans the tank up and gives it a more aesthetic look.
As a military man myself, tell your son thanks for his service. I spent a long hard year in Kunsan, S. Korea from March 2011-2012...it was the hottest most humid summer and the coldest and snowiest winter I've ever been through...great experience though.

 

24V, any chance you can work your photo shop magic with the superior blue on your bike like you did with the green a while back? With the fark up on my tins I'm wondering what the blue could look like on a BO without all the chrome.

 

Thanks for posting that dude. I never knew

 

That table in the background is AWESOME! Where can I get one of them?

 

I think I posted it before here, but maybe not.

 

Thanks buddy. Think I will stick with getting new black ones...
