Gas Tank Key Latch Replacement (1977-78 CB750 Tanks)
« on: June 17, 2017, 09:00:50 AM »
I was wondering if anyone has replaced the key latch on the flap over the gas cap on a '77 - '78 CB750 with a push latch? I can't find a direct replacement for it, and it's not worth it to me to buy a tank with the latch simply to replace it. It seems like a push latch would work to replace it.

If anyone has already done that with a push latch, do you happen to know a product number I could grab? Otherwise I'll try and find one that works and report back on it.

Oh my, that looks like it will work wonderfully. Many thanks.

Googled this problem to death and still never ran into that one.
