Fuel tank cap trim (Carbon)
Hi all,
Has anyone had any luck fitting one of these: http://www.suzuki-gb.co.uk/partdetail.asp?id=266&m=24 It's rated for K3/K4 models only but I need one for a K2. Have they actually changed the fuel cap between those years!? Also, I dont fancy carrying two sets of keys. Looking at the inside of the current fuel cap, it almost seems that you can remove the original lock from the middle in the event of replacing the cap. Can anyone confirm if this is really the case, or am I just being far to optimistic? Cheers, -- Rob |

Hello and welcome. I get the impression you're thinking you have to replace the fuel cap? Sorry if I've just insulted you!
Dispite the horrific price, all that is just a bit of padding with sticky back to glue it onto the existing cap. It isnt a replacement. I assume that it will fit any SV, but don't quote me on that. |

I was dubious too, but quite like it, only got it as the normal lid was badly scratched up and I wanted something to cover it, I think busters sell them too

There are slight diffrences between the centre bits of the fuel caps. Just a variation on a shape basicaly from what i have noted.
I really dont see the point to these myself.... but then most peeps dont see the point of my blue foot pegs either so each to their own i guess.

Oxford do these too - much better than carbon 'look' they are real carbon with a very thick high gloss laquer.
I've got both the yoke and fuel cap trim as they go nicely with my carbon hugger and I'm a tart! |

Some one mentioned the oxford part as an alternative. I found http://www.oxprod.com/ but couldn't get any further. Any other links for that one? -- Rob |
