After several long trips with a bag strapped to the passenger seat, where it's very hard to raise the seat enough to gas up, I decided it was time to add a fuel access door. Following the example of UtahPete and Blueknight911, I was able to get one installed. I would like to thank Blueknight911 in particular for answering all my PM questions.
Thank you Mike.

.... nice job, I knew you could do it ..... If you want to change where the hinge is so it will stay closed without the lock just rotate it one hole..... the rest will line up correctly ...... Thanks for the Thanks ...... Mike
Aside from a vanity project does this serve any purpose whatever?
Well I go shopping with my RT, and sometimes buy things to large to put in the Frunk and for various reasons I might not want to Fuel up until the end of my ride. So when I do stop to get Gas I won't have to un-tie my item ..... Soooooooooo I don't think it's a Vanity thing ..... Also some passengers have a difficult time mounting and dis-mounting, so for them it's convenient .... PS: I feel 90% of most Farkles are NOT necessary but a huge amount of folks here have them ..... JMHO .... Mike

Reason: convent = convenient ;-)
Not vanity as far as this Spyder is concerned. Especially when I travel I carry a lot of very necessary gear that wont fit in the bags so it gets piled on the the seat. Of course then the seatbecomes difficult to raise and to get to stay up. I don't concern myself with that anymore. Hardest part was making that 1st cut.

If the raising of the seat is something that is to be avoided due to passenger or gear, I can understand wanting a fuel door.
but if they came with one from the factory you can be sure that there would be someone designing a way to cover it up.
Bob, your installation looks good.
Did anyone mention that there is a screw missing? lol

After I did Bob's DOOR, we discussed the missing bolt ( ie screw ) .... I didn't have one long enough at the time.... I later came up with a fix for this issue .... Since the Ring only needs FOUR bolts, for the two that are really long I just used FAKE ones ..... Mike

Did you even read my post before responding ? I stated the reason. See post #53. It was not a vanity project. I agree with Pegasus1300, post #58,"Hardest part was making that 1st cut."
