Fuel taps & fuel caps are still available new from Suzuki. You should try your local Suzuki dealer first, you will be surpised what is actually still available. I've seen fuel caps and taps advertised on ebay as NOS at inflated prices, giving the illusion they are hard to get, when in fact they are just readily available new stock.
Cheers,
K

Hi marcFX, I note you mentioned a HL.  Have you built one or in the process?  Are there pics in the forum?

I am about to receive the kit from GMC and looking forward to the build.

Thanks for the info marcFX.  The RM370 looks great.  Its one of the bikes thats on my "to buy" list.  I have restored an IT490K and PE400X and am currently working on an XT500G.  The HL500 is the next project.

Do you plan to get the RM dirty?

you must have a Yamaha hidden away some place Bill.
 ;D

Anyway John, I held back spare tank for the 370 so i didn't have to scratch the paint.

I got older fatter and slower so probably better to ride a 4 stroke ;D ;D

been posted lots of times before but for those whom may not have seen here be my contribution. I'm very partial to my 400C but I have had for 30 years ;) Being such a light bloke I've suspended it with RM125C suspension front and rear a while back, tuned it all in to how I like and changed a few other little things but she's pretty stock otherwise. Still puts the fear of God into me sometimes especially after hoping off the TM125 :o whack it in third and forget it..feels like a superbike! ;D

Hi Bill, I really liked your 370, wasn't that the one with optional Mag rear hub.

Might have cheated a bit and guessed you still had the 125A in the shed. Not many garages only have one brand of bike round here  ;D
