Title: WTB Gas/Fuel Cap and Seat Lock
Post by: reload on September 14, 2010, 12:17:51 PM
Fuel cap with key in good condition.  My gasket is a goner so it leaks.

The seat lock is not as urgent but if anybody has a matching set that would be nice.

PM me with details please Thank You

If everything else is good, you could replace the gasket.
If key is not an issue, there are a number of after market gas caps that don't use a key.
I have a set or two coming in but I'll have to wait until they arrive to see what condition they are in.

i saw the threads suggesting one could make their own gasket but is there anywhere to just get the gasket?  dealer parts only sell the full assembly, that i saw anyways.

the lock is f'ed up too so i wouldn't mind replacing it.

Yes, the gasket is molded into the spring loaded part. I got in 2 gas caps today. One is a used Suzuki the other is aftermarket but brand new. If you can wait a few days, I need to look at everything and see what I can do to make things key the same for me. the Suzuki came with ignition and seat lock. I'll get back to you. I need to check things out for my brand new 1992 gas tank. Brand new tail fairings just came in today, too. So pretty and shiny! The beauty of a new 1992 GS500!

If someone else has what you need before I get back to you, go for it. I may not get everything sorted out until the weekend, but I will have something to get you running again.
