gas cap problems
Quick question.
I left my gas cap at the gas station about a week ago (realized tonight when I went to fill up). Do I have to worry about any problems that this may have caused? I checked the mobil station no luck, off to HD to buy a new one. Just concerned that I may have hurt something. Bike still runs fine. It's a 2004 FI Road Glide
Thanks

RE: gas cap problems
Get yourself one of these, and it will NEVER happen again.
Chrome disk replaces the door on your current set-up, and the cap is attached to it. Simply twist on, and twist off. Can't forget it, cause you can see its not there...Had mine on the Ultra for over a year, saves me from over filling, and from losing the cap..(yeah, I did that too)

RE: gas cap problems
About a month ago I took my Ultra Classic on her first road trip. Stopped in Rock Springs Texas to fill up. I was very thirsty and was more interested in getting a beer than filling my bike up. On the way to Del Rio I was smelling gas but didn't think much of it. Next morning go to fill up, no gas cap. There is no HD dealer in Del Rio. Find a bike shop that had some Harley caps but we had to nearly destroy the thing to get the door to shut. I bought a new one when I got back home and now I carry the modified one for a spare. Oh by the way, if anyone is Rock Springs Texas and needs a cap there is a brand new one at the Shell Station there unless some yahoo put it on his old truck. T.

RE: gas cap problems
Quick little tip that someone showed me a looong time ago: Put the cap in your hand that is not holding the pump handle. Then when passing the pump handle over your tank going to or from the gas hole, hold the gas cap UNDER the nozzle end of the pump handle. You'll never forget your cap AND it keeps gas from dribbling over your tank, etc.
