    I'm looking for a quick release fuel cap for my '13 blade.....

    I don't like the full screw ones as have had problems in the past.... I prefer 1/4 turn ones... If you have a 1/4 turn one which brand is it?

    i had this one on my R6

    mines a trackbike, so alot easierwith a keyless ignition ;)

    I reckon it'll either be the harris one or I found a SCM one I used to have it on my blade but couldn't come up with the brand until I just came across it.... good stuff the SCM is

    Having to still need a 'key' for the Rizoma one defeats the object for me. Never had a problem leaving the bike anywhere as said doubt anyone would notice nor do I think the chances of someone wandering round with an empty petrol can and pipe targeting a bike is very high.

    had the harris one on most of my bikes! the 1/4 turn feels so slick and like said! no one takes any notice its quick release but must admit the rizoma stuff is nice if not expensive
