I'm thinking of fitting a keyless fuel cap and considering the Oberon but like many of these designs, it appears to screw down with only 3 bolts and I am wondering if the other three are dummies/fake or indeed, if they can be removed. The reason I ask is because I would like to use a Givi Tanklock to carry a small tankbag and the version of the Tanklock for the Speed RS utilises one or more of these additional bolt positions. If they're fake and can't be removed, I will have to rethink my plan Thanks in advance for any advice/info . . . . .
AFAIK there are three short bolts out of the six and three long ones that actually hold the cap to the tank. Take a few out and check for yourself.
Thanks Yorkshireman - I understand how the OEM cap works because I've removed mine previously but I was wondering about the Oberon . . I don't want to buy one and then find the shorter bolts are in fact dummies/fake and can't be removed. I need to use those holes to bolt my tanklock into. I've since emailed Oberon so will see what they say, unless anyone on the forum knows. Thanks for your comment
hi alan, I've got a keyless cap on and I also have the givi ring on too. Mine is a LighTech one though but probably the same setup. Like it's been said, 3 screws are holding the thing on but the rest are shorter screws with nuts on the back. Works great BUT don't forget to line up the rubber grommit for the breather pipe! (it'll be obvious when you see it!) speed rs too btw. Having a keyless cap is bloody great btw. A good addition.
Ha ha - you replied too quickly!! I read your post again and realised yours is lightech and so deleted my query but you had already responded!!
Tbh, I added the lightech line as you answered! I got the rs 6 screw one (pic below) as there are 3 screw versions too. Get the 6 and the givi will go on too. I got it for £20 on ebay for a £90 item that was fitted for 1 month. bargain me thinks. https://www.lightechuk.com/lightech-fuel-tank-cap-with-rapid-locking-triumph-universal-12868-p.asp
