Fuel tank / gas cap id

[coryu1]

Hi,

I bought a gas cap (below), but the distance between the tank mounting screw and the tank plug is about 3mm too short, then ignoring that issue the distance between the plug and catch is about 4mm too short. My bike has a unknown past and many minor mods, but for future reference do I have an special/SE style tank? or is it just poor workmanship?

On a positive note I was able to strip the lock barrel and plug out of it and put them in my old one.

it did say in the auction not suitable for the smaller SE tank (admittedly for 650)

at least you got the lock and keys

So just to clarify coryu1 you have the short more square gas tank?

I have the larger round one and thats a decent price I may order one.

Thanks

Drewpy/Shaun that is what I'm trying to work out, whether I have an SE tank or not? I'll see if I can get a pic up..
