				Great mod. Nice and simple to do as well. A gas strut on the seat to self open next?

Actually....couple of days ago I've ordered 13g dr pulleys sliders and I came across gas strut for the seat at only $16! So I've ordered it as we'll..

Spring is about inch and a half,it was by luck a random spring sitting in drawer that while ago i thought this could come in handy so i saved it...Spring can be longer, it wouldn't matter if it is..

				Is that the normal direction of opening for the fuel door PCXDemon? My 150 opens the opposite direction. It opens towards the front.

				Here's another solution:

Looks like it'd work well. It fits the original 125, not sure if it'd fit the eSP 125.

				I made one. I only used one spring though as that was enough. I used a bit of galvanised tin plate bent to shape, a spring I had lying about a work and a bolt and a couple of nuts. 
It works great. No buggering about at the filling station now.
