These wonderful little birds are great flyers, delicious eating, excellent for training your hunting dog, and just fun to shoot,or stuff and keep around the house.  Bobwhites can be put with other types of Quail and have very large penis's.  Quail are very popular with the babes.

G'Day Raul, I've got this rather painful mental picture of those poor guys who managed to open their fuel caps with their trailing testicles as their bodies continued their momentum towards the immovable object, and probable oblivion, ha ha! I bought a Suzuki GS1000S once that had been run into the back of a parked car, and there were twin dents about the size of chicken eggs just forward of the seat, ouch! ;D

I've got a few CB750 tanks out in my garage, I'll have a look tomorrow and see if there's one with the catch you need. We didn't get too many lockable caps here, most were bought to replace the thumb latches when they broke. I'm sure Dave Benge told me he recently bought two new pins from his Honda dealer here in Oz, so i guess they're still available too? Cheers, Terry. 8)

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Hi Terry is incorrect , most unusuall.
I failed miserably to obtain a Hinge Pin for either end of the cap in USA so go to your favourite fastener shop and get a Stainless Steel Rivet that fits with a mushroom head and cut to length +1/8". Drill the end out so as it can be fitted with a 1/8" ball bearing and push it in position .
This will splay the dead end open.
Get a SS washer and place behind the splayed area.(IE The area opposite the mushroom head) 

I do have a almost new cap though!! NOT FOR SALE Chuckle Chuckle!!
But I shall personally fly over there next Friday 20th and ambush any Honda dealer to get me a pair of pins. Ashevill NC next Saturday look out.
But I will buy any NOS or OEM pins.So will Terry.

Cheers

I tried welding/soldering mine back together with that "alumiloy" stuff and MAPP gas (RazorGas for you guys Down Under). . . the latch melted just like lead.  Once it's broke, there's no saving it that I can think of- gonz
