Keyless gas cap sugestions

[Sarkj]

My OEM gas cap is done. I would like to find an OEM-looking gas cap to replace it. Does anyone know of one available? I know others types of keyless gas caps out there, the prices amaze me but I’ll deal. Any info or lead would be helpful… Thanks.

Here is something to try (maybe on your old cap)
Pull the tumblers out and see if you can make it work that way. By that I mean if you can sucessfully remove them you can get an Ebay cap and do it with that one too. Then you can use your existing key.
I did this on my seat lock when it started acting fussy.

Vortex make a keyless one. It's sharp but pricey Over $100 I think

I knew of Vortex, and a few other but at 120 to 150 bucks( depending on the website) I think is a little steep I think. But if that is my only option then so be it.

jimmie (hs2020) has a vortex cap and it is really nice. I would keep an eye on ebay maybe a stock one or even a vortex will show up.

Last time I priced the Vortex systems, they were about $80 - $90 with the receiver ring and the cap. Maybe you should search again...

he he last time i lost a key for my cap i had to pull up at the gas station and undo the allen bolts to pry it off till i got a new one .... that was on my yammie tzr lol....... got lots of funny looks but hey, the term ride it like ya stole it well i was riding like i stole it!! i can get my cap off just with the 4 allen bolts so id just do that and keep my eye out for one

That trick normally won't work on a Kat -- you can't remove the cap assembly simply removing the bolts unless the cap is unlocked...

well you could wait till you get a new cap and drill the lock i suppose......but im guessing you still need to use the bike??
ah well im stuck for ideas!!! unless ya wanna take off the tank and petcock and fill it from there each time you fill : no! silly idea
sorry dude! no idea.

When picking a gas cap, remember all of the following are interchangable:
Kat 600 88-97
Kat 750 89-97
GS500E 89-2000
GSF600S Bandit 96-99
GSF1200S Bandit 97-2000
GSXF1200SA Bandit 97
RF600R 94-97
RF900RZ 95

Here's a sub-$50 brand-new aftermarket solution with keys that will fit:

This part will fit, includes the key and the surround. Only problem is getting them to ship it from the UK.

You might also be able to track down one of these racing fuel cell caps that should fit (keyless, appears keyed):
