I tried mixed the caps and base with the silver and black, but thought the all black looked the best.

Here's my review of the gas caps when I put them on the 900:

I've got one in blue on my track bike. They work very well. The only mention I would make is that my cap color doesn't match the ring.

I found mine on the 929 to mildly suck. With a fully topped tank, on the track, I've found it can leak with fuel slosh.

Since I didn't do endurance races, and don't run a full tank, I left it in place, but I would definitely NOT recommend it for the street.

I worked with a team that had Marchesini caps, and they are better than the Vortex stuff.

I've been running these for years on the street and have never lost a drip.
