V7 III Fuel Cap

It gets fartsier! I got this for the racer:

The problem with the V7 III gascap is that the way it's shaped (overstyled), you have difficulty getting a grip on the thing to turn it. You don't want to drag your fingers, gloved or not, along the paint finish while wrestling the thing off to fill the tank.
Another potential problem is the possibility of the cap slipping from your grip and dropping onto the painted tank during removal or replacement, or just being damaged dropping it onto the pavement while refueling.

It's artsy-fartsy, but it's not a very good, user-friendly, cap design.

Hi! Does anybody know:
1) will v7iii fuel cap fit v9?
2) Is it possible to disassemble v7iii's fuel cap and set lock cylinder to fit other MG key?

Well, probably you know that V9 doesnt have fuel cap lock at all...

Yes and yes. Local locksmith should be able to do it (re-key the lockset).
 
Need to get one of these: question... just how does it pop up anyway? Press center? Just about dropped the original cap on my V7 III special yesterday..
Push down on the center, and it pops up. Push down to click retract.
 
Aside from the fact that it's prettier than the stock cap, you don't need a key, and all that: In place, it's nearly flush with the top of the tank which means that my magnetic tank bag loses less interior space from being pushed up in the center by the OEM gas cap, and fits the tank more snugly.

It works very well. :D
 
very nice! i'm planning to pick up the black one for my special.
 
I have the GTM pop-up fuel cap. Haven't used it in about a year. It just wasn't making a good seal and I would see droplets of gas around the opening, also I could smell gas when it sat in the garage. Is there a recommended rubber gasket/seal to use with it? It appears that it just isn't sealing enough with the gas cap.

The gas cap is a venting type, through the cap. If you want a sealed cap (not recommended, but can do it), send me an email for an exchange.
 
My birthday is coming soon so I am thinking on treating myself (actually my Guzzi) with a Monza flip-up style cap. Do you guys know if the standard gas cap was shared between V7 III and V7 850? If these are the same parts it means that the Monza cap also fits.

Cheers, amigos!
