SALE PENDING!!!


So I bought a blingy aluminum oil filler cap from the Intardwebz, and it's supposed to fit "most hondas" but apparently it doesn't fit VFRs, even though they said it should. :pissed:

I removed it from the packaging 1x, confirmed it was indeed too small, I think it'll probably fit CBR's but of course, I didn't try it, no CBR's within a stone's throw of me at the time. :comp13:

Please ensure that your bike does indeed have the smaller type filler cap.

They have given me a full refund, as returning the item would cost more than it's worth. Yours for postage, first come, first serve. :fing02:

Check the parts fishce, I belive it lists the size, IIRC a CBR is smaller..

Same think happened to me two weeks ago! Bought the part off ebay (within Australia) as the listing said 'CBR, VFR, Blackbird' etc. but it's too big. Am in the process of returning it now.

I thought maybe the 800 oil filler hole was larger than the 750, but obviously not.

You know what size the threads are by any chance?

The seller looked into it and said the VFR size is M22 x 3.0mm... but verify that before you take it as gospel.

Looking to add it to a race bike (CB550) that'll have to have it safety wired, and I'd rather not drill the stocker.
