Help Identify This Part

[moonpup]

Hey gang.... this cap/lid was included with some parts I recently picked up and I could use your help with identifying it. It's approx. 3 inches in diameter and looks similar to this I found on eBay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Bridgestone-Mach-II-RS-SS-200-tool-box-toolbox-lid-cap-cover-/321090507710?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item4ac27c53be&nma=true&si=PgVs2RIkf9TlIQO6QsVZYCygf4E%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557#ht_92wt_1161

If this is the one, does it fit any other model?

If I'm not mistaken, it is the tool box cap for a 175 HS or 200 SS.

[moonpup]

Thanks, it definetely looked like the one in the eBay link for the 200 RS/SS but the sellers description didn't make note of the diameter so I wasn't sure.

I think it will fit any 175 DT or HS after 16K and both the 200 SS and RS. Versions before 16K were painted and hinged.

Thanks Kevin, I wasn't expecting this much detail!  I really appreciate both you guys for taking the time to help me out.

Here's another part I could use some help with.   

I'm not even sure it's a Bridgestone part. It didn't come in a BS bag/box and there are no identifying marks or numbers on it.

Any ideas? 

[moonpup]

Never mind, I solved this one myself. 

I remembered there was another part that came with the Bridgestone stuff that had Benelli written on it, so I did a search on eBay for Benelli gas caps and found this.......

I knew I had seen that cap somewhere on one of my bikes.

[moonpup]

Haha, that's great Kevin. Say, is there a base to this that clamps or attaches to the tank opening that this piece is missing?

[scrambler]

[scrambler]

and if you were wondering what was on the rest of the tank...

[moonpup]

Ok, here's a new one. Can anybody identify which model this ignition switch is for? It's suppose to be for a 350 but doesn't match the wiring on my bikes. Needless to say, I'm not a happy camper!

[Jeff Bar]

he would not reply to me had tof ile with paypal who did give my money back but to took a long time
i will not buy anything from him.  buyer beware Jeff bar

[moonpup]

Thanks Jeff, I would hope that helping to identifying unscrupulous eBay sellers would not be frowned upon here.

[Jeff Bar]

i hope you have better luck with him since he learned us bsers will not go away Jeff Bar

[moonpup]

Here's a little update....

I informed him yesterday that the switch wasn't for a 350 and requested that he immediately refund my paypal acct. To my surprise. I woke up this morning and saw a notice from paypal that he'd done just that. 

However, now that he's been informed about the switch, what does he do....... he slaps another one up on ebay today, again identifying it as a 350 switch, only this time he doesn't include the part number!

There's a pattern of deceit with this guy and as far as I'm concerned, he's bad news...... BEWARE 

[Toystoretom]

The guy has 26XX sales and 100% positive feedback, he must be doing something right.

I've seen a lot of guys take pictures of the part out of the bag or box it came in and just a parts tag laying next to it, so you don't really know if that part actually has that part number or not. I wonder if a lot of people get the wrong part but they don't get around to installing it right away and when they figure it out 6 months later they don't
 bother to try and return it because it's been so long, and the seller ends up making a sale on some unidentifiable part he has. Seems like EBay has a lot of snakes on it anymore.

The guy has 26XX sales and 100% positive feedback, he must be doing something right.

I wondered about that myself. How does a guy get 100% feedback when he knowingly puts up an identical item the day after he's informed it aint what he says it is? Now some other buyer is gonna have to eat the return shipping because of his deceptive ways.

I think part of the reason he has that 100% rating is because of the same dilemma I now face. I could give him some real nasty feedback but guess what he's going to do..... you got it, he's going to return the favor. Doesn't matter if I'm right and he's wrong, do I want that on my score or do I just write it off and never do business with him again?

And BTW, his reply was "OK , I went by information on the bag". Sounds kinda like what you described, but what's his excuse going to be now that he has the correct information?

I know some members here have bought items from him and have been real happy with their purchase based on the feedback they left. That’s great. Just be careful buying those 350 pistons from him.... they might turn out to be really for a 175.
