I recently bought an M2 Cyclone, just discovered the petrol cap is buggered and so leaks. Doesn't look fixable ( black plastic bit has been badly bodged ) Can anyone recommend where to buy a new cap, not too bothered if it locks or not. Cheers Boomerang |

Second hand ones (mainly from USA) are dear. The buggered plastic bit can be replaced. As Richie said, try Newton who made the originals, and do a search as I believe someone somewhere was making that part in ally... Oh, and welcome, fellow Hampshireite  http://www.newton-equipment.com/ |

Don't forget that from '98 on, Buell dumped Newton Equipment as a supplier and bought Taiwanese copies instead. When I spoke to the bloke at Newton about a new key for a '90 locking filler cap, he was still smarting from that move by Buell and he didn't want to help! That was a few years back, though. |

Yertiz... http://twinmotorcycles.nl/webshop/artik ... cap_saddle Yep I have that very item fitted to my M2 filler cap. It works a treat but it's worth getting a new "O" ring and, if I recall correctly, a new 5mm (yes 5mm) nyloc nut. Banjo |

Thanks for the suggestions, Sadly its way more than the O-ring, it doesn't pull up anywhere tight enough because of the buggered black bit. |
