why not shave it completley and turn it around so that you are filling it up from inside the bed? otherwise there really isn't a point, might as well put one of those dinky billet doors on it

I like the rail idea. Clean and simple, and should be a pretty simple install. You should be able to find a flush mount gas cap at any custom Harley shop or catalog. I will see what I can find for yah.

Later

MCAdavantage.com doesnt work r u sure this is what it is called.
i want something like this but i want more than one option when i get one.and this one would need some work because of the round edges.
