Default Anyone know if '03 heritage classic gas cap is vented or not?

I was just screwing around on ebay and came across a skull gas cap that looks kinda cool and isn't to expensive.

But I have no idea if I have a vented gas cap or not, parts manual doesn't clarify either.
I have a 2003 heritage classic with fuel injection, anyone know?

i would think they are all vented somehow or they would get a vacum and stop fuel flow.
i found out some have vented cap and other have vented tank hose. there is a recall on the 09 FXDB, FXDC, FXDF, and FXDL

It in NON-VENTED. That is also why it is sometimes hard to get off and it hisses as air enters the tank when you open it.
