Default Locking gas cap for XL1200T Superlow

I have a 2014 XL1200T Superlow Sportster, and I love it! I have been looking around for a drop-in replacement locking gas cap. Anyone know of a good one? Didn't find one at the Harley dealer.

Worried about someone stealing your gas, or your gas cap?

Oh, I see you're from HB, probably tweakers stealing gas at night. Or, the IE crime wave.

Don't know why you would want a locking gas cap.
My metrics have them and they are a pain in the *** at the pump.
Here is HD $54 answer to your question.

Read the reviews and a couple of them mention following the instructions. Guessing its a little tricky learning how to use this lock.

Not sure about the OP but in the past, living in an apartment complex with underground parking meant my neighbors helped themselves with my gas at night

I bought one of these flush mount aviation style caps mostly for the looks but you do need the plastic "key" to open it making it an effective locking cap.

Be careful with the HD locking cap, i just had a huge issue with my lock breaking. It took a few hours before i finally figured a way to get it off. MAJOR PITA
