gas cap - fishmitch_imp - 11-25-2013
has anyone found a replacement gas cap that doesn't require a key to open or have a quick fix for the standard gas cap to get around unlocking it every time to fill up? thanx fishmitch

I noticed right away that the CB1100 gas cap is identical to the one on my '93 CB750 (and probably many others). Classic Honda design.
Several years back I was looking for gas cap options for a friend who was rebuilding a late model CB750 and found nothing out in the wild that would fit besides a stock (locking) cap.

I don't mind the lock. What I don't like is that it opens toward the seat. Hard to handle filler nozzle. I'd like a cap that I could remove.

It's for safety and probably a good thing too. I still have the recall card for the cap on my 1976 CB750. It had a thumb latch release but Honda recalled all of the thumb latch bikes to put on the locking kind after a few riders went down and had their caps pop open, spilling/igniting the fuel in the tank. Nothing quite like roasting your testicles after a spill!

Lord I can't begin to tell you how many hundreds of those I installed back then.
