greatwhite Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) So, I've got a tank from an 86 vfr750f2 that I'm going to be using on a custom build (on my 85). It's in good shape from the outside. You could pretty much call it "mint". But here's the problem; There a fuel cap on it and I don't have the key. Any idea on how I can get a key for it, or at least get the cap off without destroying the cap or the tank? :cool: Edited July 3, 2009 by greatwhite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much what I figured... Just thought there might be a way to have a key cut otherwise. Oh well...... :dry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 The only way you'll be able to open it with a key, is if you get the serial # from the ignition of the same bike. With that, a dealer can order you a new key. Or, you can hire a thief to pick it for you. Just don't meet him at your home. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEBSPEED Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I had to get the cap off a VF500 tank once, and had no key. It took just a couple hard knocks with a flathead screwdriver & a hammer to pop it open. Of course, the lock was junk once it opened... :cool: That didn't matter at the time though, as the bike was being parted out anyway.
