Couple of questions as I'll be doing this as well.Why does your petrol cap have a screw holding the innards on? all mine are riveted, I have 3 BTW. This was the original petrol cap fitted to the bike (it's only got 20,648 miles from new) - according to the Parts Book, the K0 and K1 spring plates were screw fitted - I believe later models (from K2?) the spring plates were riveted and these are the only OE ones available from DS. How much to chrome the cap? and who did it? The cap cost me £60 from Silvabronze in Alton, Hants (just 20 mins away) - http://www.beckworth.net/ Thinking whether to have 2 of my old ones redone but if it's cheaper to buy new I'll fit a new one. I did briefly consider buying a new OE cap from DS (£73 inc vat and del) but the spring plate is riveted and I wanted to keep my original cap, so it worked out well in terms of cost and originality. DS also sell repro caps which are screwed and include the pin and thumb latch at £61, but I didn't want a repro. I have some spare seals around for the caps which is handy cause the old ones are kinda perished. Have you used rivets to hold the cap/lock on? or the ones which use small circlips? If rivets how did you expend them?No, no rivets or circlips are used to fit the lockable latch, it is secured in place with with a threaded pin which screws into a retaining plate - the circlips are used to hold on the pin for the thumb latch which was a safety recall - have a look at this website, scroll down to No '4' which explains - http://honda750expert.com/ - it's a useful site, although even with my basic knowledge I'm not sure how accurate some of the information is? Thumb latches are available on eBay which show the component parts: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Honda-Fuel-Cap-Latch-Lock-CB200-CB360-CB400f-CB500-CB550-CB750-K-F-Gas-Tank/122752992358?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
