The story continues... Does anybody know whether there a lockable gas cap for the IMS 6.6 gal gas tank available...? Website / Supplier ? thanx for your help ! Gijs.

I'm a new bike owner... why would you want a lockable gas cap (assuming you're living somewhere that bottled water is more expensive than gas)? I have one (for the stock tank) and it just means I have to carry another stupid key? Can I get one that doesn't lock? Thoughts? -ben --- gijs_dutch wrote:

Keeps the locals from siphoning your gas and keeps the local kiddies from putting baaaadd stuff in there. Maybe not a problem where you live, but most definitely a problem if you're adventuring touring in lands where gas might not be the commodity that it is here in the states. Z DC A5X A12X

Definitely not a problem where I live - but point taken. -ben --- Zachariah Mully wrote:

I have a locking gas cap for the IMS 6.6 (7?) gallon tank. It's made by Acerbis. It's not in their new catalog or on their website. I think the part number has alot of two's in it like 2222222. You may have to call them direct for the part #. it was about $26 with tax --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "gijs_dutch" wrote:

Not the problem you might think it is because in those places you never leave your bike unattended. The motels are compounds and at border crossings when you enter buildings to deal with the endless nonsense you hire a kid to watch your bike. You should know this, Zach, living in DC as you do.
