Push button fuel door
1st thing I did to my Ultra was get the kit to make it push button but still look keyed, about $20 from the HD dealer, yes it works great. I think I can still lock it if I leave it somewhere over nite but have never done that.

Works great and looks good too. That was the first thing i did when i got the bike. I have the security fob which i have to carry with me anyway but now i dont have to get off the bike and dig in my pocket to get the key. Very easy to install too

junk- I've had 2 fall apart-- one at home--- the other 800 miles away with a near empty tank
--which is when you will find out.
the linkage mechanism is held in place with a brass set pin which can vibrate out and the center fall, leaving the latch in the notch
was eventually able to get a brass feeler gauge through to release the latch and get gas.
look at it this way, you carry your keys anyway--- getting them out every 200 miles is no big deal and if touring you need to get off and stretch.
they may last years-- but when they go, they go at the worst time

I didn't see the point in getting the lockable option. I've never had gas stolen from any vehicle. And if somebody wants to steel gas, I would think a cage with 20 gallon tank would be a better target for them.
