Default locking gas cap?????

my SWEET AZZ ride came w/o a locking gas cap. I bought a locking type button to replace the stock chrome button, but man I sure like the look of the stock one??????

Do you sport a locking type gas cap?

Shoot, I don't have one on my truck..............35 gal of fuel....... why do I need one on my bike?

I'm taking my lock off the Fuel Lid and will replace it with the Harley Push Button.....I used the key for 10 years with my old bike and it was a PITA everytime I stopped for fuel....I'm taking the easy way now.....

I personally replaced my lock with the HD button/lock HD #53842-00B.

I do a lot of cross-country riding, and use the locking gas cap as a way to discourage mischief since I often leave the bike outside in a motel parking lot. Probably a meaningless act, as anyone wishing to vandalize the bike could easily put nasty stuff in the oil filler...

Thats the one I inst5alled...man is it sweet to simply twist the cap off on my Ultra and not have the lid in the way of the pump nozzle..can easily see how much gas so I don't over fill and have a spill on my paint.

I'm going to change mine to the one I can lock or not. I went out riding one day and realized I had forgotten my key at home after I'd ridden for about 150 miles and still needed to go another 50 miles to get home.[] I was sweeting the whole time riding home.
