Hi,does anyone know if a 'lockable' alloy oil Filler Cap is available?. I know the original plastic one has a dipstick so I'd keep it for checking the oil level.

Why would you want to change it?

If you're bothered about it coming undone you could always dril a hole in the centre of the handle and lockwire it

A mate had his removed (not a CB500) and some moron 'topped' the engine up with diesel. I've seen them fitted to R series BMW's and they look a better finish.

I came back to my Honda MTX50 a few years ago, to find the fuel cap removed and a petrol soaked rag sticking out of the tank. I can only imagine the little buggers were disturbed before they could find their matches!
