Where is a repo gas cap available for 75 rd350? Checking online and have not found any candidates that are suitable .

m in sc

i dont think anyone reproduces them TBH

That's what it was looking like to me. Time to figure out what to do for a decent cap. I did see some better looking than mine used of course.

India? many moons ago there were multiple parts suppliers there supporting their rajdoot RD manufacturing with spares and repros. I remember buying new intake manifolds of decent quality and pretty sure I saw gas caps too :umm:

I've ordered from CMSNL 4 or 5 times over the past few years. I've bought parts for RDs of various sizes, my TZR, and my MB5 from them.
Great service and quick international shipping. Usually the order arrives in 8-10 days after placing it.

while we're at it, any sources for the circular rubber seal/gasket INSIDE the cap? Several of mine have cracked and fallen apart in storage. Couldn't come up with a DIY solution on my own.

The eBay vultures like to separate the key latch from the cap and charge $80 for each piece. Even without a key.

I'm glad to know there's a repro out there. I have 4 tanks and only one good cap. At least the part exists... The alternative is welding in a new filler neck.

 The Indian Rajdoot cap is like the RD400s. Maybe partially why the 400 cap is still available?
Tempting to find a good R5/DS7 tank.

Correct, I mentioned that in my Aug 11 post above. And that's why I added the used one on eBay because there's no telling how long the re-stock wait could be at CMSNL. Could be a week, could be 6mos or more.
