CB77 Tank cap

Post by SMBH » Thu Jun 05, 2014 4:24 am

I have the STD fuel tank cap and find it so thin to get a hold of to undo and would like to change it for a deeper one are the ones from Thailand any good

The replacement caps that are currently available from Honda are thicker (easier to grasp), and also have improved venting. This reduces the possibility of fuel leakage from the vent holes when the tank is near full. The gasket is rubber, and not the old-time cork. Regards, Chase

UPDATE - Cap arrived today fitted great a big improvement over what I had it seems Honda still make a cap that will fit my CB77.

Must add what a first class dealer David Silver is here in the UK have had a lot of dealings with him for parts for the so called totally restored CB77 I purchased.
