Rick My 93 oil cap is as Brandon describes his. This sounds like an unofficial repair. Also, on your lug nut, Make sure they didn't cross thread it.

It's black and has a 'tab' on it for gripping with the fingers. My buddies '94 is the same way. Do you think that your "friends" may have replaced it? Lost the original? Sounds strange. > Anyway, any suggestions on that last nut? Drive it over to a shop with professional air tools and let them get the nuts off. (Now, now, SA's..) After they loosen up 'em up, use your own tools right there and tighten them back up. Ride home and complete your repairs. I've done this before, though not with the bike. Shops have greater air pressure and industrial type tools, so flip em a tip if they don't charge you, it's always been worth it to me. Good luck.
