Awesome!! Thanks a bunch!

That gasket on the far left was the one that was unobtainium. Good to finally see a new one.

Please do. I got tired of trying to find or assemble the complete gasket set. Good to know there might be one that works for the 73 cap. I ended up using the one o-ring and it worked great. I've ordered stuff from hvc before. Great site.

I'll keep everyone posted. Hope to resolve alot of issues across multiple brands with this simple solution.

http://dirtrider.net/forums3/threads/rubber-o-ring-on-exhaust-pipe.22590/ This states otherwise.

I ordered the Viton orings. Going to give that a shot. I'm also going to try them as exhaust gaskets on another bike I have!! They are rated to 500 degrees.

Awesome, thanks!

A good 5-7 hrs researching and building replacement seat foam :(

Just want to at least have a basis on what I have vs what I'm supposed to have. Man, these one year only bikes can get the best of you. 3 hours of research so far just on the cap.

Anyone willing to take there 1973 cap apart and post pics of what all it's supposed to have?

I contacted the guy who sells the complete caps on ebay (though he is out).....sent him pics. His response "I'm not familiar with that kind of cap. Good luck."

That existing gasket on my cap is hard as a brick. Gas stains on tank from previous owner. The cap does not seem to shut down very tight....I'm afraid it will leak, even with new gaskets. That "lip" you are talking about is for the 1974 versions. I believe there is a whole "nother" disc that...

Yes, where did you order the viton? What store?

Heres a close up of last pic
