Unless HD has changed this; any HD barrel key would open it anyway. It's not keyed to yours specific bike. (unless they changed this)

I have the keyed fuel lid on the tank and pushed on the key slot and it just popped open without using the key. Is that normal? I read somewhere on here that depending on how the scooter came with a key or button. Is there both, because you don't need the key to open the one I have even though it has a key lock..Also I can't believe it's plastic!

The whole fuel-up ritual fells like forever when you are stripping your helmet, eye protection, and being careful not to spill - so digging in to find your key will just add to the time. I don't know about you guys but it always feels like I can pump 18 gallons into my car in half the time it takes me to pump 5 or so into the bike.
