Our new BMP billet caps with extra wide sealing gasket.Fit all TE/TXC 449/511 models $67.95 + $6.00 shipping.
Nice! Between the hard parts version the Bills version and the Zipty version there shouldn't be a 449/511 owner out there complaining about their stock caps.
The Husky Hard Parts item seems to have become a myth -- urban legend -- if you will. It's hard too choose between the Red and Black BMP, they're both so pretty.
I know you have one. I've seen the pictures of your bike. I really like the look of the hard parts one. But, you cannot get them. I called my dealer two weeks ago and he said he thinks it's discontinued. I also checked with all the obvious places like Hall's, Bill's and so on. No one has them, and no one knows how long it'll take to get them, or even if they can. I'm to the point now where I have to use channel locks to get my plastic cap off. So I wanted to get a replacement ASAP. Lucky for me I contacted Bill's about the Husky cap as they were getting ready to release their BMP caps. I got the first one!
I used vaseline for a while. And at the gas station when I didn't have vaseline on hand, I used motor oil. It just stops working after a few fill ups.
Just got word, through the grapevine by way of a Husky rep, that Husqvarna is discontinuing their Hard Parts Billet Aluminum Gas Cap.
When you know a guy that knows a guy you too can have your cap with your name on it for a reasonable price.
