I also notice that you and I have fabricated fairly similar roll pans and we are both using the same gas tank. If you don't mind me asking, where did you pick up the filler neck cap? That is a neat sleek way of doing it.

Ok, sorry for the delay. It took me a few days to track it down. The filler is made from a company called Cycle Standard p/n 009800. I found this one link to where it can be bought. Maybe with some digging you can find other places, maybe even cheaper. Personally for the price I think it is a bargain. It fits nice and is compact. Once body work is done and blended in and painted you will barely see it on the fender. That to me has a huge value as I didn't want a filler cap that was big and obtrusive.

Lastly, make sure whatever one you buy has a steel housing. Some like this one have an aluminum cap and a steel housing to weld to your fender, while others are all aluminum made for aluminum motorcycle tanks.

Here is the link:

I also just found it on Ebay:

And a picture of the box for reference.
