Ron Ayers says $12.00 for an 'H' model cap.

You can get part number/cost information on the whole OEM microfiche there (http://www.ronayers.com).

Re: 'old junk yard bike'?

Sure. Well...assuming you realize that not all caps fit all bikes.

You are sure the tank neck itself is not broken? That is a not uncommon failure.

make sure the seal is seated properly too (well if there is one on the oem cap).
I had mine leak a LOT (soaked all the way through my pants :? nobody smokes around please!) on my IMS tank, then i realized the o ring was not seated right :wink:

There is a gasket on the OEM cap (again..'H' model referenced).
