Title: Gas cap with a vent hose to fit Pentons?
Post by: t20sl on September 13, 2007, 12:45:35 PM
Anyone know of a gas cap that will work on 125's that has a vent hose instead of the pinholes on the underside? thanks

The only option that I know of, was the Preston Petty caps. And I'm not sure where you've find one of them today.

.........I have 2 like this cast Circle Industries type and another similar but billet and machined tabs instead of the bolted in bar. I have considered getting a new run of castings  and producing these vent hose type caps. What do you guys think, are enough of you interested??.............

Yes I could use a few as well, as long as the price it not beyond what the wallet will bare... by the way that cap fits a number of other bikes too... the same cap is also on my Maico's and is sought after... there are after market caps but they do not look like this one...

The Circle Industries cap will fit because I remember swapping out one for a Penton cap on my plastic desert tank.

Count me in! Would like one for my 74 harescrambler!
Had a few Maicos back in the day and on the big bores vented caps were the way to go.
