:agree: with you on that..................looks like the pair of us are going to spend time and money in your mancave fitting bling and the Autocom :mfr_lol:

It did look cool  :punk:

Black or Alloy finish ?

If Nightriders about I would love a heads up on the carbon bling....................not my thing normally but now I've seen it on his  :scooter: bike.......................just looks so sexy  :yes:

All we need is Viper to spill the beans on his shrink wrap bike supplier and the jobs a good one  :clap:

use search words "GTR1400 fuel " on ebay as there is one with a better designed cap part  IMO

venture film supplier, I did this in the first month of ownership , fitting can be a bitch if you are not used to working with window tints ect . watch out for pre /post 2010 models

if you are tempted by a non " venture"  film sheets  just make sure is produced by " 3M " as the cheap vinyl just isn't pliable and it wont warm around the curves , I bought an extra sheet of cheap stuff off ebay and it was crap

I used to have one of these filler caps on my Honda CB1300 and it was great, not cheap, but what is these days?
