Title: Where to buy: low profile oil filler cap?
Post by: b1k3rdude 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..?

Post by: noggythenog on 02 July 2013, 03:10:14 pm: 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]

Pro bolt, Thats where i got mine,
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.

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

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

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.

Post by: cambo on 08 September 2013, 01:40:51 pm: I swapped my filler cap for a screw in oil temperature gauge I got on E-Bay, had one on my XJR too.
