Gas cap latch
« on: October 07, 2009, 05:03:10 AM »
Anyone know where someone can get a new gas cap latch.  Fabricator picked up a new bike this week and the cap latch is broken, and he's having a hard time finding one.  Any information would greatly appreciated.  P.S.  It's a 74 750.

Thanks

They aint made new any more except by Yamiya in japan for megabucks. But you can fit the 400 locking assembly which any key fits instead part number 17550-377-315

I have watched several go on ebay for SILLY money $100+.
I have been getting emails from ebay for cb latch listings, and after about 6 months of watching, I just bought one for 6$.

i have one on the banged up k4 750 tank. it isnt perfect but it IS in pretty good shape. make me an offer and i'll get it in the mail to you. see hondaman about the kit to fasten the gas cap and lock back to the tank.
