flush mount gas cap

Has anyone done a flush mount gas cap retrofit on their bike?

I purchased one from drag specialties meant for a harley. its looks like it will work if i weld in the correct bung.. but upon further measuring i see that its going to be too tall to fit in the tank.

So i'm faced with either modifying the tank bottom and maybe the spine pf the bike. or moving the filler to a side vs being center.

OR

If someone knows of a different pop up style flush mount gas cap that would work? id be open to hearing ideas or seeing your setup

Thanks

Keep in mind that if you utilize the Harley screw type bung that you will also have to weld in a vent tube that runs through the the tank. The Harley cap itself is not vented, and relies on a tube that runs from the underside of the standpipe in the bung and exits through the bottom of the gas tank to prevent pressure buildup in the tank.
