Reproduction Decals has the oil tank cap (nipple?) w/screen, choose Triples, Body, then scroll down about 2 pages...

$28 is NOT a lot of money compared to leaking your tank empty with a cracked one and seizing your engine... :x

Colored anodizing, including black, is almost always clear anodizing that has been dyed with an organic dye. Organic dyes fade in sunlight, and black often goes through the purple color you have seen, before ending up a weak grey if left out long enough. There are anodizing processes that make the aluminum oxide layer have the desired color, but they are less common and more expensive.

I would say ball bearing clutch actuator but now I'm waiting on a hydraulic unit which is even better. :mrgreen:

Walms. The hydraulic unit sound nice, but wouldn't you then have a reservoir mounted on your bars?
Ralf's offering (the German unit) gives the light touch, but no visible difference to the bike. It's a great piece and bolts on. R&R.
