I've done it a couple times

New cap is around 25 bux and the damn hose fits so loose, it just pops off about every time I crash

Another thing I found out last time I ordered a new cap, It did not come with a new o-ring

This time I headed for the hardware store, determined for a quick fix

What I found is one of these 1/4" thread x 3/16" nipple

Just needed to drill out the original hole with the proper sized bit and thread the fitting into the hole

Added a 2' piece of 3/16" fuel hose

Total cost was under 5 bux

Not a bad idea, but maybe it would be a good idea to cut it down a few barbs to reduce the risk of getting impaled?

Kinda hard to get impaled with that rubber hose on it. That hose takes a helluva lot of force to remove

Plus my Cycoactive BarPack bag covers it

Not to mention your armadillo nut sack!

You can always count on Wibbs to come up with a non-OEM solution.

That's pretty slick, thanks for the idea.

Just be careful when drilling the hole

I did mine on the drill press, being extra careful in case the bit grabbed...

It did and the bit knocked out the lower section of the cap

Nice trick never seen this before.

My nut sack would snap that brass right off.

Great solution!

Good Ol' Yankee ingenuity!
