Son of Fur Ball--Super Quick Build
I had the gas cap problem with my Predator on my Bonanza. If you try to remove anything from the material on the bottom of the cap there is a spring that will come out. I had an older Predator cap that wasn't spring loaded. It just had the "ears" like the Greyhounds. The two "ears" are a little wider than the holes on the new tank. I put the ears in a vice and squeezed until the parts of the ears that bend in towards the tank snapped off. It leaves just the right amount of material to fit in the new tank ear slots. And is a nice tight fit. Very easy modification that allows the cap to easily come off to put gas in. I could only get the pic in the Windber Rides thread.
It looks like there would be plenty of room. But the new caps are so long they hit the frame. I wanted to keep the stock Predator intact instead of a remote tank

Problem Solved: SOFB is Mobile
Pulled off the hemi this morning and grabbed the Greyhound gas cap. Fit on perfectly and the hemi cap is on the Greyhound. Had to fiddle with the disc caliper again, but it's now good. I'm going to have to change bolts for the engine, something just isn't right...but she runs. Despite being warned that I needed to hold on tight, the hemi smoothly accelerated and the bike is a dream to ride. Amazing how different SOFB rides: the only difference between it and Fur Ball are the shocks, everything but the engines is the same.
With luck running my way, I tackled the electrical problem with the rolling man cave. After cleaning contacts and lubricating, everything seems to work. I wouldn't be surprised if corrosion was the culprit.
Will post photos of the completed CATs tomorrow.
