Flush Mount Fuel Cap
« on: Sep 03, 2007, 20:12:11 »
I installed a flush mount cap in my tank this weekend . I used a junkyard CBR 600 tank for the parts I needed.
I still have to weld it up.

I've been thinking about that too. How are you going to deal with the keylock? I didn't want to have to have a seperate key just for the gas cap. Is the bike going to have the original main switch?

I'm not going to use the original ignition switch , just a kill switch.

I used the fitting from the CBR tank but I'm using an aftermarket fuel cap and base so I don't need any keys.

My welding skills were not up to welding the sheetmetal on the tank so I covered the welds with bondo.

Thats an awesome detail, I like it a lot.  I'll have to keep that in mind once I finally figure out what tank I'm going to run.

Sorry to revive a mega old thread. Anyone know how/where to get the lower section for a cap like this?

Happy to weld in a new section but cannot think how to mount the cap other than cutting the lower section out of an old tank.

You've got it. Grab the whole old tank, hack out what you need and weld it into the new tank.

Dammit! Not a cheap mod then. Salvage tank is $150 on eBay. Anyone got an R6/R1/GSXR tank that's ruined they would want to cut up for a price?
