Default SG gas door question

I hate digging out my key everytime I need gas. I see in the catalog that Harley has a couple of options for this........ One is a push button that totaly does away with the key......The other is a keyed lock with a button in the middle that lets you still lock if you want. Both are under $30.00

Anyone add either of these? If so, how do you like them? Did you install them yourself?

I added the push buttom with lock on my 08 FLHX.Does it work perfect,No,but it does work.Sometimes I have to push the button two or three times but it does work and is worth the money.Any barrel type key will lock/unlock the push button lock.

I have the one that eliminates the lock entirely. Works well for me.

I have the keyed version and it would work well if my finger was the size of a pencil.

I just installed the one that takes a key. HD pt # 53842-00B. Took about 5 mins. Seems to work ok. Road trip next week is why I got it.
