Hi All,
I am not only new to the K bike world, but the motorcycle world as a whole! I got my K100 in a series of six laundry baskets from a craigslist ad. That was a couple months ago and now it is painted, powder coated and has had pretty much every rubber part replaced.
The last system I am restoring is the fuel system and this gas cap has me confused. I ordered a standard rebuild kit but none of the rubber bits fit. I was told by an expert at EME that I have a "unicorn" gas cap that was only used on very early bikes.
I haven't been able to find any other details on this cap. Have any of you come across it? Any information about why it exist or how to service it would be greatly appreciated. I have a .zip file of pictures that I will try to post since I don't have the right to post yet.
Thanks,
Dan
