Same here...started with the locking button (HD) and soon changed to the Kuryakn push button as the locking button was difficult to open

It may not be gas they are looking for. Vandals can ruin a good bike putting stuff in your tank. However I have the keyless gas cover and no I never lock it. It works great by the way.

Should have got the non-locking one in the first place.

X100 on this one. No more fumbling for keys at the fuel pump.

I bought the lockable one with the small push button, just use the edge of the hammer on your Colt .45 to open it. Sometimes you get free gas !......
