I like the one from E-Glide,no lid in the way.I will get one of these after my wallet recovers because of the stealership.

Does anyone make a replacement "gizzmo" or non locking button latch for the ElectraGlide fuel filler lid? I really tire of digging out my keys to open the lid. Or worst case leave home without the keys.

Like bountyhunter, I installed the Push Button Fuel Tank Console Door Release this winter and really like it. Only felt the need to lock it when I was in a motel. It's only 20 bucks and a 5 minute install.

Here's an easier solution. Buy a new gas cap at any auto parts store. It will have a slightly higher "grab ridge" in the middle. Your fuel lid will close easily, but it won't latch.

Just turn the the lock around so the latch wont catch and then you can just pop it open from the bottom...poor people have poor ways...LOL
