Fuel Cap

[projected]

I'm in CO and recently placed an order with T7Rally.com.  Prior to placing the order I had some questions about what I was ordering and Ben responded very promptly over several emails.  I placed my order on a 4/14/21 and received a shipping confirmation email with a DHL tracking # on 4/15/21.  My order showed up in CO on Sunday 4/18/21.

 

Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend T7Rally as the service I received was great.  I still need to install the gas cap and windscreen adjuster but the quality of the products I purchased seems to be very good so I don't anticipate any issues with the installs.

Same here. I get stuff from the EU via DHL FASTER than I do from the west coast via UPS/FEDEX or USPS!

Installed one yesterday. Everything went smooth with the exception of getting the gasket around the tank cover. Was a real PIA. I warmed it a little with a heat gun to make it more flexible and finally got it in.  The material is a stiffer rubber than the OEM gasket. 

 

Other than that brilliant design and looks as good if not better than stock.

Is there a link?

I agree 100%, the gasket was the only difficult part. I'm loving my cap, just filled up yesterday with my cap flipped up and attached to the bike

Has anyone laid the bike down and checked for fuel leaks?

I fell over a while back on a sandy trail. No leaks

Good to hear - anyone else have any feedback?

I think it would perform however the stock cap performs since the sealing is stock.

I personally hate flip-up caps.  So glad the T7's is like a dirtbike's.  Trying to pull a fuel nozzle spring-loaded CAFE boot up with gloves on is a pain in the ass with a cap in the way.  I'm gonna make a key blank mod so the cap can be removed without having to use the ignition key.

A men.  I fought that frigging boot on 2 different bikes back to back for years. Love the removable cap! Key blank is a good idea but I don't even mind taking my key out of the ignition for fueling. It's not like you're gonna lose the gas cap/key while refueling?

I’m sure someone else will be making one soon enough.

Sadly the  bad reports about this company far outweigh the good...

I bought the black fuel cap. Fantastic service from start to finish. Supurb quality and very good YouTube installation video. T7 rally highly recommended. It was a hobby job to start and I don’t think they had the service levels at the start. Much better now. Make your own mind up

If anyone is looking for an inexpensive hinged cap solution, I've had this on my T7 for a few thousand miles now.  Works great and hard to beat for $10.  I'm not affiliated with the seller.

Outstanding! I love the simplicity & economy of this.

 

I've always just tossed the cap over the ignition when filling up (thanks to others for that idea) and it works great. But if I ever decide I want a hinged cap this seems like an awesome solution.

I just fitted a new hinged cap from T7Rally.  Generally happy with it but it wasnt without a few issues

 

- The quality of the machining is actually better than the website image suggests, I cant see any machining marks in the recess like it shows on the website, it really is very good.

- The youtube video guidance for fitting it was excellent and really helped.

- I ordered a black cap and received silver (st.steel I assume?) screws, these are visible when installed so I instead re-used the existing black ones I had.  Not a problem but not what I expected having watched the youtube guidance.

- None of the screws came with pre-applied locktight and no little tube of it was provided (as an earlier post suggested).

- The replacement "seal" provided for the tank plastic top hole that is notched to allow for the hinge is absolutely terrible quality, it feels more like 3d printed plastic than rubber , its hardly compliant at all and it was an absolute nightmare to fit because you can only fit it after slipping the cover back over the tank spout and at that point the hinge is rubbing on your plastic trim in a place that is visible after the installation is complete.
