- March 31, 2014, 05:00:46 AMGB .... yes sir , I used the velcro . Let me tell ya that stuff is strong . I like the fact that It's not a permanent fixture . The first attempt I didn't like the placement of the "dummy cap " so I had to move it a few inches . The backing of the velcro is strong , but comes off with out any harm or residue left on the paint (tank ) . I attempted to gut the cap , like 2 beers , but was unsuccessful . So all I did was remove the butterfly stay inside the cap added a piece of cork board to the desired height and walla project completed . I'm working on getting the sticker for the oil cap now . The original WLA sticker for this were yellow and red , by doing so I'm thinking this will add that much more charater to the bike .

- February 26, 2014, 17:53:01 PM2beers that's a funny magnet story 
I'd be a little worried of having a magnet that size laying around . Makes for good ammo for the miss's when she's head hunting .
GB man story off my life , " day late and a dollar short . " I ordered a set of WLA style caps one even actually says " oil " on the cap . Paid $25 for the set . Know the question is do I leave them chrome or not . I'll have to wait and see when they arrive to do the famous stare for hours at them till a final decision is made

- February 26, 2014, 17:38:22 PMQuote from: 2beers on February 26, 2014, 05:59:17 AMI hadn't thought of the roundness of the tank.... But I had considered the paint scratching so I planned to try to put a piece of cloth or leather 'tween the magnet and the paint. I was going to try to get one of those rare-earth magnets which are pretty strong, so maybe it will work... On the other hand the velcro is starting to sound pretty easy....The magnet idea can work, especially if you want to take the caps on and off the tank. Downsides, though... The surface of the tank isn't flat, and the velcro allowed some 'give' to the mounting. I'd be concerned that the paint could get scratched by a magnet. Depending on the magnet's strength, the cap could grow legs and walk away with a passerby. The velcro makes it difficult to remove, but is still a remove-to-stock mod if desired.
Funny magnet story. At some point years ago i had an industrial magnet weighed 5 lbs and was about the size of a softball, but horseshoe shaped. I was known for misplacing my keys in the house. So, i placed that magnet inside the kitchen cabinet and found that i could toss my keys up there on the way into the house. Worked great! But didn't make The Bride too happy.
I can't believe SWMBO didn't like the 5# magnet on the table....?!!
