Steve S Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I have been in touch with Oberon Performance here in the UK regarding fuel caps without locks, they asked me to send photos of the stock filler which I have done, they have now modified an existing unit and it is being tested in Norway as we speak, they will let me know when it is available to buy and I will post it on here. 1
Scud Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Black for Scura please. I assume that could be your preference on that lovely Nero Corsa as well. I don't know about everywhere else, but the gas (petrol) pumps here have huge vacuum venting hoses, which have to be pulled back to see the fuel level in the tank - all while making sure the fuel door doesn't flop closed. They work fine for cars, but they are not bike-friendly. A removable cap would be so convenient.
Steve S Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 I love mine ! Could you share with us the make and any other details please
gstallons Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I am referring to the Oberon fuel cap on my 03 Sport . Screw threads and open throat , so no trouble w/fueling up .
Steve S Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 I am referring to the Oberon fuel cap on my 03 Sport . Screw threads and open throat , so no trouble w/fueling up . Oberon don't list a cap for any Guzzis, do you know what bike yours is listed under and did it fit without modification?
sp838 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I'd like to know too. My guess is it's the Triumph/Aprilia version... There is also this product: http://www.lightechuk.com/lightech-fuel-tank-cap-with-rapid-locking-guzzi-griso-13147-p.asp
Scud Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I'd like to know too. My guess is it's the Triumph/Aprilia version... There is also this product: http://www.lightechuk.com/lightech-fuel-tank-cap-with-rapid-locking-guzzi-griso-13147-p.asp I was guessing at one of those too - or an MV. I got started on this recently by trying to get one by Driven Racing from this website: http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Categories.bok But neither they, nor the manufacturer could say what was cross-compatible. The manufacturer did say that if I drove up there they'd be willing to take mine off and compare it to several likely candidates for compatibility. Driven's offices are a bit over 100 miles from me (in the Los Angeles area) - which I would gladly do, but scheduling is a bit tricky right now. My fuel door is currently at the powder-coater, so I'll take a bunch of pictures and measurements this weekend before I reinstall it. Maybe that's enough for them to find a compatible part. If we can figure out cross-compatibility, then we will have lots of options. FYI - the fuel door is not shown as a part in the part list nor the workshop manual that I have.
docc Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I can't imagine that Turn-of-the-Century Moto Guzzi didn't source this as a common part. We should be able to cross reference this, no? (you're a heap of quite smart lads! The V11 fuel filler is not also for Ducati Monster of the same era? And, did the V11 fuel fillers change with the later (2003-2004) internal pump/ no-chin-pad tank?
sp838 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 According to Stein Dinse, the fuel filler is the same for all v11 models.
docc Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 What do you make of the marks cast in under the cap: ZADI PF 491 4
gstallons Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Yes , it stated the part is for Triumph / Aprillia . 1
docc Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Yeah, I see this: Zadi Group, Modena, Italy They appear related to CEV. That seems familiar, like I've seen it on the V11 somewhere . . . (sorry about the thread drift - I thought if we tracked down this specific part all the applications could be specified.)

(sorry about the thread drift - I thought if we tracked down this specific part all the applications could be specified.) CEV made the trapezoidal headlights for the 1100 Sport. Let's know how it goes with the keyless fuel cap. Love those. Mal
Steve S Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 Ok I have had no reply from Oberon so after doing a bit of research I have bought a cheap cap just in case it didn't fit, it is for an Aprilia Mille up to 03 and some Triumphs, as you can see it fits fine, it cost £30 from the Bay 1
