    This is correct way to install gas cap because of at high speed moisture and dust in the air blow under the gas cap cover edge and can go under the cap cover into the key slot if gas cap is installed opposite way.

    Tpehak, Did you replace with balls bearing or up grade to T Rollers, When I did mine I went with tapered rollers ,So I could control the tension in the head, helped me in the long sweeping turns.

    I finally installed my rear seat cowl and put my rear blinkers on the front they are shorter than the front ones.

    Those are both cool mods! I was just wondering if there was a seat cowl for EBR's, and Bam!

    I installed new original Buell steering head bearings I bought on americansportbike.com long time ago. Maybe I have to consider another options for future since Buell parts getting rare.

    IMO,tapered needle bearing should have used as originals.
