I just wondering has anyone done a mod where the gas door flips the other way. Like the 2013 model. easier to put gas.

:roll: Not that I can recall. I had a 2011, so I understand why you'd want to pop the lid in the opposite direction.
Does anyone remember reading a thread about a member changing that?

I haven't read any threads about that, but I do know that many of the 2011 panels are interchangeable with a 2013 model. I bought some replacement panels for my 2013 from a site that only had 2011 panels at the time. I do have a spare 2013 center panel that I had drilled out and installed an accessory plug on once. If I can find it I would be glad to send it for your mod attempt, but if it fits you would have to order a complete assembly including the door. No other way of telling if the holes line up.

Sorry. I didn't see your request until just now. I don't usually miss them.

Which picture, a whole assembly or my modded one? I am not sure where I put the modified one now. I think it was "rearranged" by my wife when she came down to my shop and straightened up the place. Now I can't find many of the projects I was working on. She does that alot, and then she wonders why I can't find something.

I can easily take the one off that is on my bike and take a picture, if that would help. It takes about a minute.

I had noticed the difference in that part when I was over at Dave's old place and we were taking the bikes apart. It may end up that the only way you will find out is to try one. New ones are not that expensive, if you live in the USA....Hacienda Heights??

Here is a picture of the gas cap door on my 2013 PCX. I did notice that the gas tank neck itself angles toward the back on my bike. Does the 2011 model gas tank neck angle in any direction, or is it straight up?

I hope this picture helps. I can not find the other piece. I probably put it in one of my boxes of spare parts, which is up on the shelves in the basement somewhere.

I know there is some difference in the shape between the two year models as well, but I don't have two to compare side by side, unfortunately.

Thanks Mel for pic. The cable and routing to open lid is different too. Gotta find a person who has one so i can see if the complete panel fits.
