I swapped mine out. It's a lot easier to deal with and much better looking. It's worth it.

I put one on also. Worth not having to dig out your key to fill up.

Me too. Looks better. Lock can be opened with ant barrel key anyway so not really secure.

Was just looking at the push button myself and was wondering the same thing. Locking or smooth?

I love mine, looks great and no problems with it. Smooth is the only way to go.
I've had it on two different Street Glides with about 20,000 total miles.
