Default Flush mount gas cap suggestions?

Hey everyone, looking for insight on a flush mount gas cap. The stock breakout one is pretty much a pos in my opinion and looking to get a nice black one to fit the the smooth look of the breakout. I see your Harley one but for 80 dollars I could seriously buy an extra piece of style for that price. Just wondering what ones you guys are running and if they are good as the hd style.

It's not flush mount, but I'm using the Licks Cycles cap'n black cap. I was looking for a flush mount and decided to go with this. It looks low pro and is good quality.

I was looking there but I read somewhere those can break pretty easily. I was staring at Amazon too but if your feel cap breaks you are kind of screwed. Ha ha.

I have the HD one, and have used it about 3 times and I'm not really satisfied with it. It sticks, especially when the bike has been running for awhile. I think you are right for the price to try another brand. Just my 2 cents.

Not seeing the low profile on licks parts and accessories for the tank. :/

I have the kuryakyn one that comes with flush mount LED indicators for the gas and voltage levels. I like the LED indicators but the mouth on the gas cap is kind of small and it doesn't pop up so can be somewhat difficult to turn off when the engine has been running for a while. It looks good though.

Fitted the HD flush mounted cap 6 years ago, it's been fine with no issues.

I ended up going online and ordering one from a dealer across the coast. I have to wait but it saved me 30 dollars or so. I keep seeing the hd one so I bit the bullet and got it. Ha ha, was ordering the Blackline console for my breakout anyways. Should help the over all look.
