Aaaa Haaa Marco has explained it all. That is what is great about our Community, you get the straight information . Now we need to set Marco up to ship us parts. Of course he is entitled to some payment for his time.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

Bought this NOS for only $20SGD. I saw ebay sell that for over 100usd



 Oh man I'd give my left newt for a fuel gauge/cap like that for my 500/550

I've got one, send me your "newt" and I'll send it to you. Make sure you enclose a pic of your "newt removal" procedure too, I don't want some fake Asian "part", I want "OEM" ha ha! ;D
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?"
