Where to buy: low profile oil filler cap?
« on: 02 July 2013, 02:52:02 pm »
Devilsyam frame caps have reminded me that I need to try and source a low profile oil filler cap as I keep catching the stock one with my leg.

The type I have know I have seen are the ones with an allen bolt hexagonal hole socket in it..

Any idea's where I can get this from..?

Pro bolt


Thats where i got mine,


It's a right bugger to Initially unscrew [size=78%]though, think coz its metal & the heat gets to it.[/size]

Seen that one, not low profile, its the similar in height to the stock filler cap. And as you say a pain in the arse to unscrew.

I have a almost flat one that is Allen key in middle.
Don't know who made it as I got it from a fellow focer purple bear. Only downside is it marked FZ1
SO I assume It's USA made.
If I remember will take a pic tomorrow

Just found this website -

http://www.pptuning.eu/en/products/model/yamaha/fzs-1000-fazer-00-05

And the price is good too if this website is anything to go by -

http://www.dragrace.fi/product_info.php?products_id=16252&osCsid=3d6gl02fooufmbi55ja3e5duk5

Its a stock image but as the one for the Fazer is m26, the one that would fit is the red one, which i would want in black or blue.



Then found this -

You could take the cap to a linisher leaving just enough for unscrewing it.

I swapped my filler cap for a screw in oil temperature gauge I got on E-Bay, had one on my XJR too.
