[QUOTE="Earlofcrankcase, post: 1452179, member: 98626"] Thanks. So far so good. I did get a scare putting fuel in it and now I'm looking for a way to revive the rubber seal on the gas cap? The key barely worked but latter some W-D and working it back and forth brought it back around good enough for now. I may need to pull a better safe than sorry with an inline fuel filter? It had 3/4 of a tank when I bought it and a 1/4 when I filled it. After I got over the "what the hell" with the gas cap. I looked at the bottom of the tank and saw good shiny steel with no rust. The rust funk is just at the very seal of the tank. I'm going to hit the seal with some motor oil on a q-tip for now? The $161.00 "assembly only" if it could still be bought? Is not going to happen. Next question is the oil? I'm going to buy new oil today but I'm wondering what the opinion on synthetic oil shelf life is here? The seller threw in the rest of the case of Royal Purple last used? I think the pic is the date of that case? The registration on the bike expired in 2015. [/QUOTE]
