CNC quick release petrol cap
 
While the tanks away being sprayed with the rest of the bodywork I was looking at replacing the fuel cap for a CNC quick release one.
Has any else used one and are they worth the dosh.
Casoli price is £70, Protwins and Tecmoto are over the ton.
Which is best....:puzzled:

Carbon:cool:

Carbon ones are **** - the Ducati Performance ones are really badly made, require modification of the standard cap and then don't fit properly, and are really stiff in operation. A real waste of money.

I'd go for ally one any day. Try: http://www.moto2.co.uk/ are about £60 and you can pick the colours and styles in a mix-n-match way.

Thanks Ant, great site, just purchased silver outer cap and gold inner cap.
Keeps it as near to origional as possible.
All for about £60....:D

Nice bit of Bling.......:D

When you are parked up someone will

Nick the cap

Or

Drop something in the tank

Depends what it gets used for - trackday tank maybe?

i use a alloy one.
nice piece of kit. but i dont leave the bike anywhere long enough to let things happen to it.
dont bother with the carbon.
and as Antone said you should get one for £60 ish

I only plan to use it when the bike is always in view.
I share your concern over theft or things put in the tank.
Its a great shame there are such low lifes around to do these things.
I will keep the old one for such times when the 916 is out of view.
