Very nice... half tempted to bid on that... or to copy the design  Hey, what's with those "inspection plugs for triumph 650-750 twins" by the same seller? Can't remember seeing them on our bikes - or are they just for the earlier machines? Matt

That is cool! Matches my licence plate frame. I'll have to bookmark it. What would be even better is if it was black with chrome spikes.

Hello Everyone,
I've got only one cap left from the first lot. I'm not sure when the plater will be completing the next lot. I'd like to see this one go to another Bonneville America member and I'll offer it to the first member that sends me a personal message expressing interest for $50.00 including shipping and handling. Thanks to all for checking out my parts!

Hello PussyCat,
I'm currently offering these in a chrome version only, right now. I do like Soren's idea of a black cap with the chrome spikes, and will probably be offering a few in the near future. I could machine a bunch from aluminum, instead of brass to anodize if there were enough interest in them. What color(s) would you be interested in seeing?

Tom,
are there any caps left?
I tried looking at your ebay store, but it came up empty.

Tom,How about coming up with a dip stick attached to the end of the plug,so that a guy could check his oil level with the bike on the side stand?Now that would be nice!Why the company didn`t think of that one i`ll never figure out!

The next batch of these oil filler caps has returned from the platers. They are machined from solid brass and the chrome is spectacular! If anyone is interested, just let me know.

Hi Shari,
I'm glad you like the cap. I'll see about making some choke knobs to match soon.
