I need a gas cap holder

[Boondocker]

I'm pretty clever but not clever enough to have already figured this out.

 

Where to put my gas cap when I'm fueling so it won't fall down, get lost, or otherwise cause me any grief? I have this nightmare of my key getting broken off in the gas cap when it hits the ground.

 

There is nothing wrong with the cap on my Super Ténéré, so why couldn't they do the same for the Ténéré 700? I want to collectively slap Yamaha for this unfriendly gas cap arrangement.

I saw someone making a flip-up cap, which is the final answer, but what about in the mean time?

 

- Maybe some kind of handlebar bag to fit on my non-existent handlebar crossbar?

- A "clip-in doohickey" like on some automobile fuel cap doors?

 -A tether?

 

I'd like to consider your bright idea if you don't mind sharing!

 

Thanks,

Boondocker

I put a concertina lead on with a clip with my details on a name tag. Clip it to a cable and put the fuel cap on the ignition like everyone else does

Dirt bikes don't have hinged caps.

 

True, but dirtbike gas caps are also alot lighter and can hang by the vent tube-no key to deal with

 

I bought the  T7 Rally cap and agree it is spendy, but not a thought anymore-well made and works perfectly.

When I first read that people did not like the  fuel cap I thought I would be in the same boat, although I would preferer a hinged one I have got used to it and have no problems at all.

I do what AZJW does. Stays nicely right over the ignition. Not had it fall yet.

I like this idea in the mean time since I have to remove one or both gloves anyway. Everything together and snuggly. I can handle that.

Oddly enough, Mrs. Boondocker says I should get the hinged cap. Sounds like a birthday present to me

I was going to say, $160 for a fuel cap??? Do you know how much gas the could buy????  But then, thanks to .... , it won't buy much.
