Push Button is the way to go. No problems, and easy to use.

Went with the push button lock, at least a little security at the motel at night. Doesn't work as smooth as the push button only but it works. Nice to not have to dig keys out.

I had one on my 2005 Ultra that I sold. I put one on my 2010 as soon as I got it to the house.

I wonder...what if our bikes came standard with the smooth push buttons only... how many guys would be asking for a locking one?

Yep! Have had them on last two 'baggers'.
No more fishing for keys just to fill gas tank.
Looks good too!

i had a bad habit of leaving the key at home, so the button was the way to go.

I've used it for a year and it's well worth the money. Just lube it with a few drops of WD-40 or similar once in a while and it will last for long.
