File down your plastic tabs so they fit through the slots - the plastic absorbs fuel vapor over the years and swells, that's the common "it won't fit" issue. | ||

Just keep searching on ebay every few days. They're never gone that long, I'd say a couple weeks at most before he makes more and relists them. I just bought one this winter. Put it on the bike but haven't had it out on the road since, definitely a nice improvement though. | ||

| Fabfun |

| Fabfun |
Seen them fixed by drilling hole in center of plastic piece and through bolt and inserting a tension pin to lock in place | ||

Got my new alum replacement part and installed it on cap and works on trim ring but after installing on tank with the rubber seal cant turn cap (Message edited by fabfun on May 12, 2018) | ||

I think there is a screw on the bottom side that you have to adjust maybe that's the problem. | ||
| Fabfun |
Do you mean the nut ? I tried that already | ||
| Ebutch |
I,ve had one for years and it Works if assembled right.Butch  | ||
| Ebutch |
David loosen up screw and it will fit.  | ||
| Ebutch |
Your right Gerard!  | ||
| Fabfun |
The rubber been off bike for two years guess its stiff and I loosened nut no go . Loosened it till doesnt engage flats on threaded rod and still wont work> Assembled correctly because only way it will work and worked fine till installed on tank | ||
| Fabfun |
What screw is everyone referring to only thing I see is a nut not a screw | ||
| H0gwash |
I meant to say nut. | ||
| Fabfun |
Well tried nut like said works fine till add rubber seal | ||
| Fabfun |
binds on new alum piece | ||
| H0gwash |
Mine is about 1/8 inch from bottomed out. I'll play with it tomorrow when I remove my front wheel for a new tire. | ||
| S1owner |
Just curious here. I have had issues with tanks and caps before due to storage. Put the tank in the sun with no cap and gas in it then install the parts the tanks shrink overtime when stored. | ||
| H0gwash |
Not sure what's going on, I tried reassembling mine in various wrong ways to try and recreate your "cant turn cap" problem but couldn't do it, my center tab on top always turned. You wrote "Loosened it till doesnt engage flats on threaded rod" which strikes me as wrong, I believe the 'slotted washer' that screws into the alum insert must engage the flats on the threaded rod. Maybe your 'slotted washer' needs to be rotated 90 degrees? The long axis of that 'slotted washer' should share the same axis as the 'ears' on the alum insert.

I said think issue is stiff rubber because it works fine till installed on tank | ||
| Phelan |
I had that issue and resolved it by loosening the nut. |
