Question Locking gas cap?

When I purchased my Harley from the dealership, I noticed that it lacked one important thing --- A locking gas cap.

Where can I get one that not only looks nice but is also reliable?

Thanks!

Afraid someone is going to steal your gas, or pee in your tank?

Most people replaced their locking cap with a push button one. And I believe all new HDs come without a lock.

Oh yeah, I don’t know where to get a locking one.

The apartment building I live in has underground parking, which is where I store my bike, only issue is that it's open, which mean's that other's have access to my bike. Just dont want to take a chance with someone thinking they would be funny and pour something into my tank.

I found a few online for $30-$40 that I might get.

Got mine from the dealer! #61100129, check the H-D website Shop tab for details. I don't find it easy to use, but it does lock.

I got this style, not really "locking" as far as needing a key but tamper proof as it's very difficult to remove without the plastic handle that goes on your keychain.
I liked it because of the flush mount and the "sporty" style.
One thing is if you ever do loose the handle you can get it off with a few tools without damaging anything.

This one looks decent, but looks to be a European part. OEM lockable gas cap.

That is actually the cap I have, the part # I gave above is similar. Your link shows possible stock in Germany, that's all, may also still be available in USA.
