Royal Star Venture gas cap

[BigLenny]

Hey Folks,

 

Today I ran into a fellow riding a 2006 Venture. He has just recently got it running, and said he loves the bike. I invited him to take a look at our fine site. He said he might just do that. In the mean time, I thought I might try to help him with something. His gas cap has a serious issue, and he is looking for a replacement. He said a new one is $125.00, and he doesn't want to spend that. After I left him, it got me to wondering if anybody here would have a spare gas cap laying around that goes with the RS Venture. He gave me his card and I could contact him if someone had one they wouldn't mind getting rid of. If you're interested, let me know.

 

Thanks,

Looks like there with the lock set now buddy, I tried,

but the keys would match :-)

The issue may be as simple as the screws coming loose on the gas cap. IIRC there are two screws on the bottom that need to be tight or the locking mechanism doesn't work well.

I think the issue is the bike sat for several years. To the point that he had to take the carbs off and clean them, plus put new fuel lines on. The gas tank was rally bad. He cleaned the tank somehow, but the gas cap seal and internal parts is so bad it can't be used, or something like that.
