petrol cap mods ?

Hi,
I dont like the twist off petrol cap, no matter how careful you are twisting it off, the tank gets scratched.
Has anyone fitted a different cap ? how difficult was the install ?
or what else can i do ?
All the best,
Jeff

with the newer H-D's, you have a closed fuel system to feed the fuel injectors. Any new cap will have to be able to seal the petrol tank to maintain pressure. It's all the time gotta be something...........

You might check into the caps for the new Dyna SEs. Not sure but it looks like they are flush mounted, and probably pop up to remove.
