Default Gas gauge cap

I have a 1997 RK. Can I remove the gas gauge cap and replace it with a fancy after market one or do I need to replace the tank to use them?

aftermarket and H-D acc. caps are VERY model specific.

just choose the correct version for your bike.

the service manual or the instructions with the new cap will tell you how to remove the old cap with out breaking anything ( they pull straight up, do not twist/turn)

thanx the hole is to big for a regular screw in cap. Do I need an adapter or something? Where can I find one?
