Default Flush gas cap

Wondering if and when Harley will make a flush mounted gas cap for the 18 and later fatbob? Tired of the crappy factory cap that rattles and buzzes around. I know they make them for the touring models, had one on my RKS and it was great.
Would of thought one would be available by now but I'm not aware of it. Thanks

I'm looking too. Is your fatbob the one that has the clock on the handlebars clamp like my breakout? Does it have like a ridge down the center of the tank too?

Alsooooooo.... Could the rattle you hear from the cap easily be mistaken for a vibration comming from the rear fender?

No Superdog, its an18 fatbob that has the tach/ guage pod on the tank. No ridge down the center. It has a single gas cap on the right side

Thanx. If the top of your tank is sorta flat, why wouldn't any work? I assume they are mostly the same thread?

well, all the ones Harley sells dont show fit the 18 fatbob. Maybe the curvature of the tank or the threads are different? Dont know. I've looked aftermarket too.nothing
