Default Flush Mount fuel cap?

I want something other than the stock gas cap. Was looking at the flush mount. Anyone have any thoughts?

The earlier ones had issues with the lights going out. I have the black ones on my FB and love them. Really improves the look, I think. Wife wants the chrome set for her Heritage (Christmas present in waiting).

Not sure how they'd look with your paint job, though....

Have the Kuryakn one. Not sure if they have one in black if you're looking for that....

I have the HD set. Have had them for over two years now with no issues.

No issues and easy install on my Chrome ones.

I had the Kury ones above, but having to keep the "key" available to open it was kind of a bummer and the damn things started to rust in just a few months. So far, 2 years in and the HD flush mount work well.

they take 10 minutes to install..mine have worked for the better part of 2 years now.. but yeah, they only come in gloss black or chrome, and IMO the gloss black sticks out too much on the denim paint.. but it's your choice. i like mine

I have the gloss on the denim and love it. It matches with the gloss black console very nicely.

I currently have the old (unreliable) LED style......I like them allot but a few of the LED's have failed after 4+ years. I was going to replace the one side but I like the look of these. Have any pics of the Kuryakn on your bike?

I installed the HD flush mounts and like them a lot. Quick and easy install; and IMO they make the tank look a bit better. So far no problem with the LEDs but it has only been a few months since I've installed them.
