Hey all,
Craig, from CJ designs got back to me today. Here's his
response:
Hi Rusty,
sorry for the delay. We've been out on the trails testing new
products and I'm gone again unil the 9th for a local ride we
help sponsor.
These have been a great product and have worked great for many
690 riders over the years. I do most things around the shop as
well as try my best to update the site when i can. We have a
batch of NEW product pics in the works, but I've not had a
chance to get them up yet. The breather hose fits out the back
just like OEM by a screw in nipple. The gas cap vent is
capped so the rear vent works just like the OEM did, or you can
cap the rear vent and then vent from the top like a dirt bike.
The NEW 690 filler is all one piece w/o out the removable top
plate. If the top plate is not wanted, a 690 rider could order
the 990 SMT version. We do offer a Billet Gas Cap option now
as well in orange or black for those wanting a billet cap
option.
Please let me know if I can be of any other help or see any
other product needs we should look into for the 690 riders.
Thanks,
craig
I'm gonna order one in the next few days. I think I'll stick
with the plastic cap for the time being. When it arrives I'll
post a write-up.

write-up found here:

I personally like the black anodized version, also available in
orange anodize.

I didn't realize BigDog had done this already. It's a good
write-up, thanks for the link.

I need to win the damn lottery. There's now one more damned
thing I have to buy for the bike. :P

I just talked to the folks at KTM Twins - their redesigned unit
should be ready in about 2 weeks. "about" the same price as the
older version ~ $155. Billet cap, 1 piece filler design (like
the CJ designs one)

A lot of the problems on the 690 can be found in EU legislation.
Smog filters, can from hell, fuel cap. The list goes on. To give
you an idea of how invasive the euro union legislation is...
They want to ban garden gnomes because they pose a health and
safety risk (trip hazard) to mailmen.
School crosswalk attendants...not allowed onto to the road with
the children they are supposed to protect (they may get run
over)!
Nice old cobble stone streets in medieval villages? Concrete
over them, your crutches or wheelchair cant get over them
safely...
The list goes on. So given the crap ktm have to deal with, it's
a miracle the bikes are available at all!
Btw, the latest thing proposed from the eu is that a motorbike
must be maintained in its original form...don't change the
color, no graphics, no change of can. No changing original
tires, no adding anything that didn't come on the bike... :o :o
