Dan,

What's the story on your fuel cap/gauge.  Looks pretty trick.  Does it work decently?  If so, can you give up the goods on your parts source?

Do you know who makes it.  I have a friend who owns a motorcycle repair business.  He might have a supplier that carries it; if so, I could get a pretty competitive price.

they're made by  ASAHI-DENSO. or "AD"  i've only seen them on 69 - 77 hondas. from what i've been told alot of honda stores offered them as dealer options on bikes.  the company  AD did not sell to parts stores or distributors. just dealers. when they pop up on ebay they're on tanks or bikes for sale and 9 out of 10 times the seller doesn't know what they have.  a friend of mine bought a 15 dollar tank with an 80 dollar AD cap.  but then last month someone had an n.o.s. cap that went well over $100 bucks.
you just got to keep your eyes peeled.

Nice going on the bike, I never saw this thread because I haven't been to the forum for a while.  Now you have to show me how to rattle can because I'm going to paint soon.
