If the stock cap is too big and ugly to some, mine will be completely overwhelming to those!  ;D



It is kind of big but I actually like it.
"kind of big"...thats some funny shit right there...I dont care who ya are  ;D

You are right Highway, I should have thought before I wrote that one...... :rotfl:

Sorry all.  I know this thread has cooled off for a while, but I got something in my stocking from Santa which might help with the small hole problem.  Check this link:

http://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-OEM-YZF-R6S-Filler-ABA-0SS56-20-19/dp/B008210DVK/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1357755196&sr=1-1&keywords=mccuff

It's a small hard rubber cuff which seals the space between filler hole and fuel nozzle.  It allows you to simply fill the tank and know the tank is full when it automatically cuts off.  It does a great job and kept my pretty black tank gasoline-free.

Don't know if it'll help anyone, but it's a pretty slick solution for the price.


I believe there's room for all of God's creatures...right next to the mashed potatoes.

There's an old thread with that sort of a 'devise" talked about with both pros and cons.  I'll have to see if I can find it..... tick, tick, tick...

Found it!!

See.... that didn't take long.   ;D

I was looking for that, T.  I don't think that solves the problem of the vent hole in the cap.

I have one of those and don't reccomend it.  It does not cause the nozzel to shut off like it claims and gas sprays out when it is full.  I have tried to use it several different ways and have not had any luck.

Sorry to read that, Starky.  Granted, I've only been able to use mine once, but it did a great job with the fuel nozzles we have around Reno.

Got mine from LA Choppers thanks to them donating gift certificates for WARR and then I got an extra one cheap for test fitting to the Stryker.  My wife didn't end up wanting it because she didn't like the idea of the smaller fill hole and it being harder to see inside, so I sold it to Matt for what I paid for it.
