83-85 fuel tank cap options?

Post by moseleykmc »

Folks, there has to be some fuel tank caps out there that will fit the 83-85 A model KDX, but I can't find one. Has anyone had any luck locating a replacement cap?

Thanks,
Moseley

So...the fuel cap is listed as obsolete....or not available. These guy list is as available http://www.kawasakipartsnation.com/oemp ... /fuel-tank, might be worth a shot to order one from them and see what they say.
Also listed available from here http://www.polarispartshouse.com/oempar ... /fuel-tank.

Sometimes this stuff is listed as available, but when you order it, they cancel the order, so you may have to try multiple stores.
