I told you that I work for food right? The offer still stands, I'll live in your garage. I could be the weird cousin you tell people about. Oh and who wired the shop, looks nice.

The ventless cap is called that because the vent isn't visible. It's actually vented just with a built in check valve so that in the event of a spill gas won't come out.
The oil cap I got from Dennis Kirk.

Deej: I've already got 1 wierd cousin, don't know if I could handle two.

so any real benefit over the cap that comes with it? If I dump the bike is gas going to spill out through the cap?

The cap that comes with it just has the conventional vent tube that you attach a tube on and run it up to your steering stem. Or you can put a short tube on it with the cute little anodized vents. All kinds of options.

actually I did notice your oil fill cap on another thread pic....did you put any other bling on the bike? such as the brake resevoir cover?, I had seen those in the catalogues along with the oil filler caps too. Looks good, no worries of that breaking or stripping the threads.

Was that an outside wall to another shop?

ORIGINAL: vfrpilot
But I was refering to my red anodized oil fill cap.
This cap is another alternative to the Pingel oil cap:



This is from SFB Racing, available in gold, gray, blue, red or black. I did a cross-reference and the ones for the KX60/65/85/125 will fit our bike.

Here's one vendor that offers it:
