Default Flush Mount Fuel and Gauge caps

I remember reading a thread about these flush mount caps, and the fuel gauge cap not working??? Did anyone here have any issues with these caps?

Would like to have them, but for $200 and the fuel gauge not working????

I'm on my third set. The lights went out on the other two sets. Third times a charm?... We will see.

installed myself on my 08 rocker about two months ago and all is well so far. Nice upgrade overall.

Heard about failures. Installed mine last June with no issues to date. Not aware of any recent issues.

For those that have them and they work, you are lucky.

I think mine worked for a while, but can't remember the last time it did.

I just use my odometer.

HD replaced them under warranty and kept the old ones.
