Fuel Lid
I just bought the 2010 Ultra Classic Limited. So far I keep going out to the garage and stair at it, sit on it, stair at it due to the weather been pretty nippy out.
I have the keyed fuel lid on the tank and pushed on the key slot and it just popped open without using the key. Is that normal? I read somewhere on here that depending on how the scooter came with a key or button. Is there both, because you don't need the key to open the one I have even though it has a key lock..Also I can't believe it's plastic!

The flip up door feels and looks like plastic along with the whole inside of it...Could I be wrong?

OK, I could be wrong. I'll look at it better..But I'm definitely right about the Keyed fuel door popping open by just pushing down on where the key would go..Guess I'll take it in and have'm look at it. Just wondering if anyone else had this issue.

Open fuel door. Push on key/button. If you see the catch mechanism go in then you have a push button.
Unless HD has changed this; any HD barrel key would open it anyway. It's not keyed to yours specific bike. (unless they changed this)

the fuel door is diecast and chromed. the fuel cap itself, the screw in part is obviously plastic. perhaps the dealer installed the accessory lock which allows you to lock it with your key, or when unlocked it will still shut and snap down, but you can keep it unlocked if you prefer. i changed out mine for the chrome button, and i've had no issues with anyone trying to swipe gas. if your key will lock the fuel door, and when unlocked will open by pushing on the lock area, then yes, someone has replaced it with the accessory lock system. it's a great way to go. i hate digging into a pocket to get the key out for fueling.
