Default Locking Gas Cap for Deuce

Nothing earth shattering, but would like some input/info on options available for locking gas cap for a 2005 Deuce. The only one I have found is a locking cap for "soft tails" from HD. As the Deuce seems to be its own animal within the soft tail family, will this cap fit okay without any mods. The HD cap is a bit plain, are there any other locking gas caps out there from other manufactures. Thanks.

Gas here is $1.59 / gal. Even if they steal 4 gallons, its still cheeper than a gas cap. Whats the point.

Points well taken by all. Theft of gas I could live with (though I don't think gas is going to stay at these low prices for long), but having someone pour sugar in the tank is something I would hope to prevent.

You have some kids pissed off at you?
sugar doesn't dissolve in gasoline, so your fuel filter would catch all of it before it ever got into the motor.

about the worse thing that would happen is that it clogs the fuel filter.

you would have a better chance that someone would steal the bike...
