Has anyone had any experience with getting one to work on a FZR? i was thinking of getting one but i wanted to make sure it would work cuz our tanks are a 2 piece tank and tank cover.

Cannot see it working myself.

They will fit the cover ok as the bolt pattern matches.

As you state the tank is a separate part.

The original cap latches and seals on the lip of the tank neck.

Keyless caps seal (via an o ring) filler cap to outer ring.

There would be a large gap that would require filling between the tank neck and the tank cover.
Even if successful, most covers are plastic and would flex quite a bit .

that was my thought, it'd have to have a spring seal set up like the oem gas cap to actually work and from what i'm seeing online none of them do that.
