That one is available OEM. Unless you’re flipping the bike, get the OEM seal.

Correct gas cap for my ‘76 XS

It looks right too I just placed and order with Sumo Rubber and what they said would fit is the wrong one
Bummer as it would have been nice to get it from them st the same time
Thanks for confirming what I thought was right
Oddly Yomama doesn't show the seal separately on the 76 partz fiche at Partzilla.
I plan on selling the bike as long as the Parzilla seal will work I'll get it
I would have to assume that part from Mike's would not be worth buying
Understood but lubing and using mikes seals, they've been holding up "fine" in the great white north.
That is strange

I'll have to check out Mike's price with shipping $ 8.96 plus $13.92 shippingUnderstood but lubing and using mikes seals, they've been holding up "fine" in the great white north.
I didn't think any of his rubber parts were worth buying
Partzilla $ 27.60 thats before shipping (yikes)

Good. I admit I did not try a MikesXS seal due to my experience with other rubber parts from there. “Fool me once…”Understood but lubing and using mikes seals, they've been holding up "fine" in the great white north.
Seems spotty, there's always been an onus about the repop rubber falling apart. There's a basis in fact, I've had some of their rubber crumble.
Mike's including shipping is $ 22.28
The breakdown is hit and miss. XS650, XS750, XS850, XS1100 and maybe others, all use the same seal. As I recall, only one XS1100 Special fiche shows the cap breakdown. XS650 is similar.
I'll have to check out Mike's petcock rebuild kit , maybe the will combine shipping?
You got me, LOL when it comes to the petcock "four hole valve" i will ONLY use OEM.
see pic above, that seal delivered for $13.25
see pic above, that seal delivered for $13.25
Thats looking much better
Thanks
now I need to tear apart the petcock to make sure I get the right parts

That's not Mike's or 650 direct?
NOPE it's from the "real Mike" as he (or his wife) sell down that parts inventory he got stuck with.

I’ve used those kits from George Fix. I’ve lost count of years they’ve been working fine. (I hope I didn’t jinx it.)
I've now got that site bookmarked
Marty who's George fix?
