So there I was last night heading home with my new little modification in my backpack. Hey, I need gas so I stop and "fill er up."
Get the bike in the garage drop my stuff and get some tools. Undo the stock cap bolts and remove the assembly. Here is the ooooops. There is a little rubber gasket about the diameter of a pencil that slides up the side of the tank opening. I try to grab it with needle nose pliers but it just moves further into the recess.
Okay, time to get serious. Put the bike up on the rear stand which apparently changed the angle enough that the little rubber gasket slips into the FULL tank of gas.
My little project ended with me removing the tank, draining all of the gas and removing the fuel pump to get that little gasket. OH YEA!
Well, I got the gasket and put everything back together. Another valuable lesson learned. At least that is how I am going to look at it.
