I bought one of Mark's caps and it is beautiful.

AJ,

One side of the ring slips out of the retainer. On my cap, the retainer

is on the backside of the tank filler neck facing the seat. With a pair

of pliars (?) (and being extremely careful to not slip and hit the tank)

pull the ring out of the retainer a bit to give yourself enough
clearance to slide the entire ring over the tank filler neck to get the
cap off. As for re-chroming, I believe Mark E sells re-chromed gas
caps, perhaps you can make a deal with him, your cap plus cash for a
re-chromed cap.

Hi guys,

I currently have a good functional after market gas cap on the bike. No
complaints. But I also have an original gas cap that would be sharp if
it
were re-chromed. Its the only thing I have that needs chroming so I know

it
won't be cheap. Any suggestions on where to get it done? Local or
shipped
is AOK.

Also, do you just use brute force to spread that ring around the filler
neck?

Thanks,

-AJ
