New F3 fuel cap in the works from Lamonster Garage

[Lamonster]

We're in the final testing stage of the new keyless fuel cap. Many of us have trouble closing our cap after fueling and this is our solution. This will come unfinshed, all black and black with accent cut like our IPS products. I posted this on Facebook and had great response but I forgot to post it here. So what do you guys think? :doorag:

Another awesome option from Lamonster's Garage to fix a known problem !

I personally love the idea that it is keyless. I’ll be getting one when they come out. Thanks Lamont.:thumbup:

NEW FUEL CAP

I do like the look but would be afraid some jerk would steal the gas cap or put some foreign object in the tank. I have had no trouble closing my cap since I sprayed silicone on the rubber gasket. Great product, though, for those that are interested.

INTERESTING,

Keyless Gas Cap sounds great. :thumbup:

Looks good to me. I didn't know that I wasn't alone in struggling with the gas cap.

Someone stealing the gas cap or putting some foreign object in the tank would be enough of a worry that you would not buy the product? That surprises me. Does that happen often in the US?

We have had a number of them like that in our shop. Have been able to fix all of them with proper lubrication and instruction on how to close the lid.

True as did I on mine. But sometimes you just want that thing to blend in and stop staring you in the face. Powder Coating is a PITA and paint can't withstand fuel when some a-hole fills the vapor nozzle with overflow!

Ahhhh, the things we come up with to justify some snazzy new farkle! :roflblack:

 

[jcthorne]

It is a snazzy new farkle! And if aesthetics is the reason for it then it makes all the sense in the world. No need to justify your farkle urges to me.

Suppose I was lucky in the aesthetics area as the matte finish silver gas cap was a perfect match for my color scheme. Not so much on a triple black.

I was wondering how people with IPS keys open their gas lid?

Still works fine. We have a few customers that use them.

Original Gas Cap - Question

Can the Lamonster Garage share with us what they have been doing to the original caps to make them work better?

The one thing I dislike about the factory setup is having to remove the key, insert the key, unlock the lid, lock the lid remove the key, insert the key... I did not have to deal with that on my ST with a gas door. If I pull in listening to some good tunes, they will be interrupted by the whole thing. Also the key insertion requires just the right angle or it will not go in. Just pulling in and unscrewing the cap like every other motorcycle on the planet is very attractive to me.
