Pushbutton instead of lock.......
I have the locking push button. One of the first mods I did. I have never locked it. Sometimes it can be a PITA to push the center especially in cold weather. I may switch it out to the button only.
Note to anyone who looses/forgets their key. The barrel on most ball point pens is the right size and will unlock the lid.

I have the push button locking one too.I agree with the prev poster about it being a little difficult in chilly weather.But I'll be picking up a smooth one because mine just quit working.Tried lubing it but no success.Four yrs old and 50,000miles.Good excuse to get a new smooth one.
Smooth push button here too. Had it about a year now and can't believe I waited so long to get it. Looks good and functions with or without winter gloves. As stated lube it every so often; which reminds me...
I've had the non-locking style on every Ultra I've owned, and like the look and ease of use. Some say should be able to lock it, but there are a zillion cars, truck, SUV's and other motorcycles with non-locking doors or caps, so why single out a Harley as needing one.
