ok so after going through 24 pages of kwak gas caps i found this

cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem...geName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

do we think this is the right one?

and does anyone have a couple of spare keys as it says any key will open it?
thanks
Mark.

If you know the year and model of the bike the tank you have came off of then just look for that one, as for the one you're looking at it might work but then again I really didn't get a good feel for what tank you actually have. The key hole must be one of those kind where anything you stick in it will turn it, just you your ignition key.

Unfortunately I can't identify your tank either, give this post some time and maybe one fo the other members will know what it is from and post a reply.

78-79 KZ650D AKA KZ650SR

So, I'd say the cap on eBay is indeed the right one.
