    For most of the 750's, but if you have the 84 750rl, you'll need a twist-on cap that was used on the fj600, xs400rj, xz550, xj900, etc......

    Let us know what year bike you have.

    Robbie, have you checked with Len @ xj4ever? As I recall I think that he sells the flip up caps. I could be wrong though...

    In that case, any 550/650/700/700X/750/750X Maxim....and most seca.......caps will fit. Also, as someone else said--the Virago (XV) from 81-up will fit. There's a gazillion of those caps around.
