Could be the filler neck for extra gas tank. Check under bike and make sure.

Cant really tell where it goes to unless I take the rear off, I haven't found any petcocks or reserve tank switches smelled like gas to me so I tried to put gas in it but seems to be full. Now Im worried I put something in the wrong hole, I dont think enough gas to cause an explosion went in but I still worry so If anybody has any idea shout out.... and Thank You

I agree with gas cap and thus the trike has a secondary tank.
Can you crawl under and check for a cell? It could just hold extra fuel?

I got under it as far as I could, Gotta do a minor mod to my lift then i can get under there, cant get down under stuff like I use to, lol. but I think your all right gas, it may not even be hooked up, or its a very small tank. Gotta do the tires and fork seals next, but not till i can get it in the air...Thanks for all the insight this forum ROCKS! It's been an interesting first day.
Howdy from AZ and welcome.
Can you contact the previous owner and ask him about the Trike?

Welcome!
If it's full, no telling how old the gas is, I'd pump it out and only use it for gas if going across Mars, likely I'd remove it all together. Too easy to fill up and forget when done so.

i have the same bike and there is no cap . has to be an add on .
