Gas cap lock
I want to replace the locking mechanism in a new gas cap with the locking mechanism from my old gas cap. 82 GL500i. Is this possible?

Re: Gas cap lock
I thunk of that, but I'm lazy and frugal(well really cheap) and I was going to try the what I hoped was the easy path. After a little more looking it may be that the mechanism was pressed together...so I am going to try and unpress it first.

Re: Gas cap lock
the bigger question is why? mine will take just about any key and open. do you find yours has to have the "right" key to open it? even though i have never tried i bet a screwdriver would open my gas cap.

Re: Gas cap lock
i bought a spares bike and swapped out the tank, the original key for the bike opened the new fuel cap without any problem
