Does the cap just unscrew... didn't want to force it? Is the regular fuel cap vented or unvented? Will a Harley Davidson fuel cap screw on/fit? Thanx! Don't remember seeing this topic.

I had to have my dealer remove my dummy cap because of some sort of issue with the threading. It is supposed to just unscrew without any effort.

My dummy cap simply unscrewed (counter clockwise). No issues with threads. I am not sure about substituting a Harley cap in its place.

I'm interested in this topic as well as maybe replacing the actual fuel cap. These two plain jane caps are one of the things I'd like to spruce up a bit on my Chieftain. I've searched high and low for direct replacements and have come up empty. Anybody else find anything?

Found some nice HD skull fuel caps that look like they probably fit, but need the experts to tell me.

MotorDog69 has some pretty nice caps for Indians. They fit over the stock gas cap. One version has capability to replace the coin inserts - you can swap out coins as you see fit. Check them out here.

I forgot about him! It's tough getting old! Two more years until Medicare! Oh! Boy!

Mine just screwed off...... The dummy is just a cap with an inch or so of "all thread" that screws into the tank.

Those look really nice. Has anyone on here actually installed them? Curious how they turned out. Looks like what I've been looking for. Thanks for the link.

Indian is Metric made in the USA, how much of HD is Metric? I'm purity sure HD isn't all made in US. [smug]

you would be surprised

On my last Harley, I removed the dummy and did away with the hole by having it filled in and painted. Was considering doing the same with my Indian but like the coin holder and think I will go with it instead.

 

[Roadie]

The left gas cap doesn't remove easily, so many trying think it isn't removable, so I actually removed it and hide my top secret stuff under it and reinstall it.

Lots of people putting coins, turquoise, American indian symbols on theirs via epoxy............I guess just used your imagination.
Why are HD caps better? Seen plenty of plain caps there too.

So what IS under the dummy cap? How much room is there?
