    Gas cap replacement

    Maybe all gas caps are the same, I don't know, but is there a non-locking alternative? I'm trying to streamline gas stops because I need to make them too often, which is about every 60 miles if I don't want to see a warning light or have the display reset itself.

    running out of gas

    I have a 2006 vmax with 1500k on it. Just bought it. Pulled carbs and cleaned from sitting. Runs good now except when fuel light comes on and seems to run out of gas. I switched the reserve switch but still acts like it runs out of gas. Any suggestions?

    #3 Carb spewing gas...

    Ok. I set my dry float levels according to the casting stamp on the jet block like in the dry float level thread. Right now, my #3 carb is overflowing fuel through the overflow tube. What should I look at?

    Gas Filler Neck

    Has anyone seen directions on how to extend to gas cap filler neck on a Max? I know I've seen it somewhere. I have a Corbin seat with the damn trap door and it's really hard to top off the tank when you can't see the top.
